Episode Nine of The Health & Safety Hub with Paul Jarvie and Peter Oxley
Paul Jarvie talks with Peter Oxley from ACC about Recovery at Work and how it’s changing the way businesses support injured employees. They explore how using work as an active part of rehabilitation for injured workers with low complexity injuries, such as sprains and strains, can lead to better recovery outcomes.
In this episode they discuss what good Recovery at Work looks like in practice, including the importance of early communication, understanding medical certificates, creating meaningful suitable duties, and working collaboratively with medical providers to help employees return to work sooner and safer.
