The Return to Work Program OSHA

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

A well-run return to work program can help you avoid costly citations. This 60-minute OSHA return to work program webinar walks through each step from the moment an injury happens until the employee is back at work full time.

You'll learn what documentation OSHA requires at each step, the claim form details you need beyond the form your workers' compensation carrier provides, and why the program can reduce the need for an attorney.

The session also covers creating a list of modified work so the clinic doctor can assign suitable duties, with examples, and why clear job descriptions with assigned safety training matter for that decision.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Injury claims are expensive, and missing documentation can lead to citations. A structured return to work program helps you address possible claims before they happen and get injured employees back to productive work sooner.

The session is aimed at small business owners, HR staff and all supervisors who handle workplace injuries and want better service from brokers and adjusters.
