Alfred & Vásquez takes an innovative and effective approach to the employees' return to work. Our firm can help an employer develop a Transitional Return to Work Program which focuses on injury prevention, early intervention, and prompt return of injured workers to the job site. Upon return the employ can, for a temporary period, perform useful tasks safely within their physical restrictions. The focus of the program is on real-life conditioning, safe work practices, education, job coaching, work adjustment and ergonomics.
After reviewing a company's existing return-to-work policies, and assessing the company's case history for patterns and risks, our team will implement an enhanced return-to-work program which may include:
