- Codes of Practice: Return to Work
- Codes of Practice give practical guidance to employers and workers to better understand and meet safety standards required by our legislation.
When an injury occurs it can be a difficult and confusing time for everybody involved. To help you prepare, you can print the necessary forms in advance and have them packaged along with instructions to make the RTW process easier.
To report an incident, injury or dangerous occurrence you must complete and submit an Employer's Report of Incident.
A Return to Work (RTW) program is a proactive, formal plan that helps injured workers remain at work or safely return to suitable work. It outlines the steps that workers, supervisors, and others within the organization need to take if an injury occurs.
What is suitable work?
Suitable work must:
- be within the worker's functional abilities;
- be safe and not put the worker or co-workers at risk, or hinder recovery;
- restore pre-injury earnings, where possible; and
- be meaningful and promote the worker's recovery. This means that the work should serve a purpose or valuable function to the organization.
