Employers, physicians and Lni specialists know
The ability for Stay at Work/Return to Work programs to be successful quickly is one of the most critical factors in an employee’s rapid recovery. Most injured workers have the capacity to Stay at Work/Return to Work when given appropriate low physically demanding tasks. WACA HSEQ will provide employers with an easy to use tool allowing all recovering employees to complete employer required safety tasks in a light manner, in a language employees can use while improving safety for everyone.

The potential for partial wage and equipment reimbursement make this an easy safety management decision.
