Return-to-Work Program Planning
Returning injured or ill employees to work safely is an important part of recovery. Employers are legally obligated to accommodate injured/ill workers under WSIB requirements. At Momentum Health and Safety Consulting, we understand that injuries and illnesses not only impact the lives of injured/ill workers but also the lives of their co-workers which impact the business operations in a negative way, so it is really important to handle these situations very carefully. Our Return-to-Work (RTW) Program Planning services are designed to assist employers with building a structured, compliant, and compassionate return-to-work programs that support recovery of injured workers in safe and productive way.
A well-developed RTW program helps:
- Improving health and safety culture within the workplace.
- Reducing lost-time injuries and costs associated with it.
- Improving employee morale and motivating the workers.
Momentum Safety works closely with employers to develop or enhance their RTW programs, offering:
