- Advise on legal obligations and appropriate actions.
- Advice on the potential implications of an incident.
- Follow up reporting and documentation if required.
- Expert witness if required.
Our incident investigations are comprehensive and are designed to minimise exposure in the event of litigation. Given our experience and range of risk management services, we are ideally placed to offer suitable advice in the event of such incidents
Rehabilitation and Return to Work
No one wants to get injured, especially at work. The Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act provides benefits for workers who sustain injury in their employment and aims to encourage improved health and safety performance by employers. Managing workers’ compensation claims and getting workers back to work in a safe and timely manner can have significant positive advantages for the injured worker and businesses alike.
DWS can act as the Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator for your organisation by managing the claims process, communication and rehabilitation and return to work of injured workers with the aim to reduce time away from duties, cost of insurance premiums and risk of successful common law claims.
