Figure 1: Disability Management: Prevention, Support for Recovery and Accommodation

Description:

The three components of disability management are accomodation, prevention, and support for recovery.

• For accommodation, important aspects are accessibility standards, the duty to accommodate, and assistive technologies.
• For prevention, important aspects are the Employee Assistance Program and wellness programs, special working arrangements, occupational health and safety legislation and standards, and emergency and business continuity plans.
• For support for recovery, important aspects are sick leave and injury-on-duty leave, disability benefits and workers' compensation, and early intervention, case management, and remain-at-work or return-to-work plans.
