Medical Clearance Assessment

This assessment involves reviewing the employee’s medical history, the nature of their medical condition, and any treatments or surgeries they may have undergone. The occupational physician determines whether the employee is medically cleared to return to work.

Work-Specific Assessment

Occupational physicians evaluate an employee’s ability to perform specific job tasks. This assessment may include job site visits to assess the physical demands of the job and determine if modifications or accommodations are needed.

Modified Duty Assessment

When an employee is not fully capable of performing all job tasks due to their medical condition, the occupational physician may assess the employee’s ability to perform modified duties or restricted tasks temporarily.

Gradual Return-to-Work Plan

In cases where an employee cannot immediately resume their regular duties, the occupational physician collaborates with the employer to create a phased return-to-work plan. This plan gradually increases the employee’s workload as their capabilities improve.
