When a workplace injury occurs, the earlier the intervention the better. Not only is it key to recovery but it can save your business thousands of dollars. At FPES, we know that early intervention for workplace injuries leads to better health and recovery outcomes and when an employee feels supported, they are more likely to return to work and stay at work.
Management of workplace injuries can be overwhelming for both the employee and employer. Having a structured Early Intervention Program (EIP) to manage injuries within the early stages can help result in reduced stress and can lead to a reduction in claims costs and employer premiums.
In Victoria, an employer is required to pay the initial $735 of medical expenses as well as the first 10 days of absence from work (excess). FPES has developed their EIP to ensure Victorian workers compensation injuries start on the right foot, which has resulted in 94% of referrals recovering prior to the medical costs exceeding $735 and no lost time.
Early intervention is the single most critical factor in achieving successful return to work outcomes and provides the following benefits:
● Reduced Claims
● Reduced lost time injuries
● Reduced workers compensation costs
● A supported employee
● Identify & prevent further risks and outcomes
