When an injury occurs and it becomes an OSHA recordable or lost time, a workers’ compensation claim is also filed. Often, workers’ compensation claims management is handled by someone in human resources, but there is a need for others to be involved in the return-to-work process, as well. This includes the safety professional, risk management, the front-line supervisor, and others. A Return-to-Work policy is critical for managing claims, getting your employee back to work, and ensuring you and your employee follow the treating physician’s orders.
Course Objectives:
• Know what a Return-to-Work policy is and why you need one
• Learn and review the benefits of having a Return-to-Work policy
• Know how a Return-to-Work policy can save you from extended lost time, overtime, budget
• Review how having this policy impacts your relationship with your treating physicians, carrier, human resources, your department managers, and your injured/returning employee
• Know how this policy can prevent or reduce fraudulent claims, attorney intervention, and workload
• Ensure you train employees and managers on the Return-to-Work policy and its benefits
Why Should You Attend:
