DISABILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

 The Governor's Executive Order 52 (99) Workplace Safety and Health, requires  that every agency "develop a return-to-work/modified duty policy for injured  employees, with the flexibility to take into account the injured employee's special  circumstances, using transitional or light duty assignments when appropriate." The  Statewide Return-to-Work Coordinator can assist agencies and employees with  this initiative by providing the following services:

  • Conduct an evaluation of your current disability management system.
  • Perform a needs assessment before you develop your program.
  • Provide direct training to your employees on how to develop and implement a return-to-work program.
  • Participate in planning or attend committee meetings · Review draft return-to-work policies.
  • Research assistive technology that might allow an employee to return to work with a job modification.
  • Provide any further technical assistance that would enable an employee to return to work in a safe, healthy and timely manner.
