RTW - Elements of a RTW Plan
A return-to-work program is a documented process for communication and action in the event of a work-related injury. The Program facilitates an injured worker’s recovery and return to work as early and safely as possible in accordance with legislative and workplace requirements. A well-designed return-to-work program may be used for all injuries regardless of their source.
Return-to-work programs have six (6) elements defined for the purposes of PRIME through Commission policy.
Commitment
Injury Reporting System
Return-to-Work Planning
Return-to-Work Program Documentation
Joint Mechanism for Consulting
Evaluation and Communication
