講座的目的
闡述把預防結合於每一由
預防至復康各連貫階段的
重要性.
Compelling Case
無可異議的例證
Long-term disability costs
account for 80% of all
compensation costs in Ontario,
Canada amounting to billions of
dollars. There are also staggering
hidden costs due to workplace
stress.
加拿大安大略省為長期喪工
作能力而付出以億元計的賠
償佔總賠償金額的80%.而由
工作壓力引發的潛伏費用亦
相當龐大.

Legislative Context
法例的意義

Employers in Ontario have a statutory requirement to provide a
healthy and safe workplace under the Occupational Health and
Safety Act

安大略省的雇主需依職業健康安全法令提供一個衛生及安全的工
作環境

Employers have a statutory requirement to re-employ their
injured workers in prescribed circumstances under the
Workplace Safety and Insurance Act
 在例須的情况下雇主需依職業健康及安全保險法令重聘受傷雇員

Ontario’s Injuries, Illness and Fatalities Experience

90,000 accepted lost time claims in 2005 out of a workforce of
4.5 million workers covered by Workers Compensation

Lost time injury rate reduced from 2.46 in 2000 to 1.81 in
2005 (percentage of the workforce)

Severity rate has increased over corresponding period from
130.4 in 2000 to 209.3 in 2005 (days lost per 100 workers) –
Schedule 1 employers only

Work days lost increased from 5.5 million in 2000 to 9.3
million in 2005

Fatalities have no defined trend ranging between 99 and 215

Return to Work (RTW) Statistics

First 5 days are critical in RTW effectiveness

More difficult to return injured and ill workers back to safe
and productive work after 21 business days

Chance of returning to work is 50% after 6 months time off

50% of individuals with permanent partial impairments
experience another work disability within 3 years of
returning to the workplace

Costs of re-injury are 3 to 5 times that of original injury

Prevention/Rehabilitation Continuum

Employing an integrated approach that incorporates a
managed system is essential in managing the continuum of
prevention, rehabilitation and compensation. It requires
transformational leadership and an understanding that the
workplace needs to be viewed organically

All stakeholders must be engaged in the development of a
holistic approach to all aspects of the continuum
Key elements of the continuum are:




Integrated comprehensive disability prevention strategy
Primary prevention
Primary rehabilitation
Secondary rehabilitation

“Prevention
An effective prevention
strategy prior to a
workplace injury or illness
occurring is the most
important first step.
Creating a Healthy
Workplace requires
employers to implement
an integrated,
comprehensive approach.”

Prevailing Effort of the Paradigm
The goal of the paradigm is to keep people free of symptoms and
dysfunction. Rehabilitation is an activity designed to return those who
stray below the Safe Zone and establish their new parameters of
function focusing on abilities. Even while an individual is dysfunctional
in some way, they can be promoted and prevented from further
dysfunction.
Consensus Based Approach

Consensus based disability prevention involves the cooperation of
all the stakeholders. It is a process that serves as a foundation for
management and labour to work together in solving problems at the
workplace

It considers the whole person and requires a high level of corporate
emotional intelligence

One example is the Consensus Based Disability Management Audit
(CBDMA) developed by the National Institute of Disability
Management and Research (NIDMAR) located in Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada (www.nidmar.ca)

Benefits of a Disability Prevention Program
預防傷殘計劃的益處

Disability prevention programs
have been shown to significantly
reduce the negative social
effects of disabling illness or
injury on workers and their
families

預防傷殘計劃顯著的減
低受傷員工及其家人在
社會上因傷殘而引起的
不良效應

Workplaces have also found that
making every reasonable effort
to return workers to the
workplace is a sound economic
decision

雇主亦體驗到盡力安排
受傷工人復工是有經濟
效益的抉擇’

Benefits of a Disability Prevention Program
預防傷殘計劃的益處

There is a dignity in work, the
sense of accomplishment and
belonging it brings, its value to the
community and to society

A disability prevention program
keeps employees connected to
the workplace, focuses on
abilities, and moves them back
into the “Safe Zone” as quickly
and effectively as possible
It is the right thing to do!
M. Shaw, IAPA


它賦與工作的尊嚴,帶來成就
和歸屬感,確定對社區的價值
及對社會的貢獻

預防傷殘計劃促使受傷工人和
工作間緊密聯繫,把重點放於
能力復原及使受傷工人儘早返
回工作的”安全領域”
這是明智之舉!
“The data revealed that the coordinated return to work
approach led to a dramatic 47% reduction in the
duration of claims (prevention) in 2003 and a 39%
reduction in the costs of claims.”
