Writing an injury management policy

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In broad terms, an organisation's work disability policy should have:

a statement of commitment on behalf of the organisation about workplace disability, signed by the most senior person of the organisation, and

a more detailed outline of the organisation's injury management policies and procedures.

The detailed outline should include a:

description of the roles and responsibilities of all the people concerned

instruction as to how workplace rehabilitation will be undertaken, and

documented procedures that expand on the expected courses of action.
