Onsite Injury Management

Manage work-related ‘aches and pains’ before they become injuries

In today’s ageing workforce, injuries occur more frequently and take longer to recover from. In many cases, older workers in manual roles are unable to return to their full pre-injury role and require ongoing treatment and rehabilitation for months or even years.

Providing injured workers with the option to manage their injuries at work has so many benefits. It greatly reduces productivity loss and improves communication between injured workers, your HR team and external treaters. It also help maintains a social connection with their peers which is essential for their mental health and overall recovery and return to work.

You’ll see a reduction in lost time injuries, less secondary mental injury claims and faster, more sustainable return to work for injured workers, saving your business time and money.

 

We offer the following Onsite Injury Management Services

  • AHO offers a range of clinical specialities to suit any organisation’s needs. While the majority of our Onsite Injury Prevention Specialists are Occupational Physiotherapists, we also have the capacity to offer Osteopathy and Chiropractic services if requested.

  • Ensuring that injured workers return to their pre-injury role in a safe and sustainable manner should be a priority for every organisation. To achieve this, clear and prompt communication between internal and external stakeholders is essential.

    Being onsite and readily available, our clinicians remove many of the communication barriers that exist between external treaters and an organisation’s injury management team.

  • Our consultants are experts in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. Having an qualified clinician onsite enables injuries to be assessed immediately and allows the formulation of an appropriate rehabilitation plan.

    A clear rehabilitation plan ensures that all stakeholders understand an injured worker’s capacity and timeline for their reintroduction to work tasks.

    Having a worker’s rehabilitation overseen by an onsite specialist facilitates communication between managers, supervisors and workers, ensuring that workers return to their pre-injury role in a safe and sustainable manner.

  • Rehabilitating an injured worker and facilitating their return to work after surgery can be a delicate process involving many stakeholders. An experienced, onsite clinician is invaluable in these circumstances, due to their understanding of the physical demands of the worker's pre-injury role and the expected functional milestones in the weeks and months following surgery. They will also liaise with specialists and external treaters to ensure that a safe, sustainable and proactive rehabilitation plan is developed, in accordance with medical restrictions.

  • Some job roles have very specific physical requirements. Our clinicians can help ensure that your team are physically fit to perform their role with functional conditioning programs, designed specifically for their role.

There's no better policy at a workplace than one pursues the health and safety of its people.
