Use traditional interventions to:

• Eliminate health hazards during design, planning and implementing work

• Mitigate risk in the workplace

• Achieve healthy behaviour in the workplace

• Train managers so they are confident in health and well as safety risk management

• Engage the workforce in the same way as you would with safety

• Share good practice and celebrate success

Evidence• The longer an employee is absent from work, the lower

the probability of a return to work. (Robinson et al., 1997)

• Belief in own dysfunction is a significant factor in duration of absence; this tends to worsen over time. (Pearson 2001)

• After 5 weeks absence, significant impact on workability. After 6 months absence only a 50% likelihood that the employee will return to work. (CIPD 2003)

• At 12 months this falls to 25% and after 2 years the chance is almost zero. (British Society for Rehabilitation Medicine 2001; Faculty of Occupational Medicine 2000).
