WestCoast Disability Management

The Costs of Workplace Injuries



The cost of disabling injuries and illness in the workplace has become a vital issue for businesses and labour as they prepare for effective operation in the 21st Century. Rising insurance costs and an aging workforce make this a growing issue in terms of financial and human loss.

These costs are reflected in the loss of valued employees, employee morale, compromised safety, reduced productivity and the potential for lengthy, expensive litigation under emerging "duty to accommodate" decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada.

A Proactive Disability Management Program provides a process where labour and management can assume joint partnerships, responsible for worksite interventions and services.

WestCoast Disability Management offers comprehensive, personal and effective solutions for your Disability Management problems. We have over 20 years combined experience helping people and organizations overcome the effects of injury and illness in the workplace and developing worksite programs. We understand the needs and perspectives of employers and employees.
