All employers are required to establish an injury management system. An injury management system is a written description of the steps to be followed when there is an injury in the workplace.
Penalties can apply to employers who do not establish an injury management system.
What to include in an injury management systemWorkCover WA has developed an Injury Management System Template to assist you with this process.
More informationThe detail included in the injury management system will vary depending on the size and nature of the employer’s business. Employers can change or add to the template to suit the needs of their workplace.
See the Return to Work Employer Obligations Fact Sheet for more information.
The educational video Return to work: employer guide (coming soon) also outlines how you can assist and support your worker with their injury management.
