Rehabilitation
policy.

We are committed to the rehabilitation of our employees who may suffer an injury or illness arising through their employment.

Applies to all Howrah Plumbing employees and contractors

Plans and programs for the rehabilitation of an injured or ill employee will be developed in consultation with all relevant parties.

Our objectives

The objectives of the Occupational Rehabilitation Policy are to:

  • Ensure rehabilitation procedures and plans are commenced as soon as possible following illness or injury, to provide a speedy recovery and avoid long-term problems.
  • Provide alternative duties where it is practicable to do so.
  • Encourage a positive work environment for any affected employee.
  • Provide adequate and appropriate rehabilitation services where required.
  • Ensure that participation in a rehabilitation program will not prejudice any injured or ill employee.
  • Encourage communication between all parties in the treatment of the injured or ill employee.

Responsibility

Safety is the responsibility of us all. Management and employees have an important role in ensuring the best possible outcome for any injured or ill employee, and a total commitment to occupational rehabilitation will ensure the success of this policy.
