Work-related disability is an increasingly important issue to
organizations, in terms of cost, competitiveness, and social and
ethical issues. Changes in the nature of disability arising from
the evolution of work calls for a new approach to this understudied
topic. Significant developments have taken place in linking injury
events with subsequent primary prevention efforts, in engaging key
stakeholders in effective pre-injury prevention and post-injury
disability management efforts, and in exploring company-level
interventions, regulatory interventions, and economic incentives.
These issues are examined and brought together to form a unique,
evidence-based, state-of-the-art research work revealing what works
best in preventing workplace disability. Preventing and Managing
Disabling Injury at Work examines the changing nature of the
workplace and work force, and includes the newest information on
effective early and staged multi-modal interventions in the
workplace. The text also explores psychological risk perception,
and the essential linking of the workplace, clinician, insurer, and
worker in the recovery process and in the prevention of subsequent
disability events. This volume assembles a group of active
researchers in the field of work-related disability from North
America and Australia, many of whom manage interactive programs of
work through HealNet, a health research network funded by Industry
Canada. Well-illustrated with case studies and practical examples,
much of the book focuses on the common musculoskeletal disabilities
and 'regional disorders' along with other broader applications.
