The IHSA Safety Podcast is a free podcast from the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association that seeks to improve the lives of workers in Ontario; one thought-provoking discussion at a time.
<p>We engage with professionals and industry influencers to help them implement and improve health and safety solutions for workers and the workplace. Each episode explores best practices, resources, and training to control and eliminate safety hazards in work environments involving high-risk activities in the industries that IHSA serves: construction, transportation, and electric utilities
When a worker has suffered a work-related injury or illness, it can be challenging and overwhelming to think about returning to work. To encourage a successful return to work, it is essential for injured workers to receive proper support and guidance throughout their recovery process. In this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Sarah Knight, Manager of the Return-to-Work program at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), talks in detail about WSIB's Return-to-Work program. The program offers guidelines and procedures to follow when a worker requests accommodations following an injury or illness, and it is designed together with the employer and the person who is injured or ill to ensure an early and safe return to work.
Sarah further explains the responsibilities of both the employer and the worker, how WSIB helps in the return-to-work process, and what a typical successful return-to-work process would look like.
