Policies and procedures > Writing an injury management policy

In very broad terms, an organisation’s work disability policy should have both:

•	A statement of commitment on behalf of the organisation regarding 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, including:

•	A description of the roles and responsibilities for all the people concerned;

•	Instruction as to how workplace rehabilitation will be undertaken; and

•	Documented procedures that expand on the expected courses of action.

A well written work disability policy provides a framework for action.
