Injury management plans focus on early intervention.

As an employer you must:

• notify your insurer within 48 hours of becoming aware of any workplace injury
• cooperate and participate in the establishment of an injury management plan for an injured worker
• if a Category 1 employer, you must nominate one of your staff as the return-to-work coordinator and provide training for that person. The return-to-work coordinator is responsible for preparing the return-to-work plan in consultation with the injured worker's treating doctor, the workplace supervisor, and the injured worker
• if you are a small business proprietor, you will usually assume the role of the return-to-work coordinator.

Note:  If the return-to-work coordinator is unable to develop the return-to-work plan, they should engage the services of a rehabilitation provider.
