Worksite Assessments
A worksite assessment provides a practical understanding of the demands of a worker’s pre-injury role and the opportunities available to support a safe and sustainable return to work.
The assessment considers the physical, cognitive and psychosocial demands of the role, workplace conditions, specific difficulties with tasks, and the availability of suitable or modified duties.
Practical recommendations may include workplace modifications, task adjustments, equipment or changes to work methods to support the worker to safely perform their role and minimise the risk of aggravation.
Information from the assessment can be shared with the treating team to help guide recovery and return-to-work planning, and assist the treating doctor in understanding the functional demands of the role when determining work capacity.
Effective communication and collaboration between the worker, workplace and treating team is an important part of achieving a successful return to work.
