Posted By Lukasz What actions would you recommend when employee is coming back to work after 1 week off due to back problem which is result of his activities during weekend? -Back to work meeting -Light duty on tasks related to manual handling -Manual Handling training -scheme which covers up to 400 pounds on professional healthcare treatments Anything else?

Posted By Raymond Rapp It largely depends on what your company policy is with regards to return to work. Presumably the person is fit to return to work, otherwise they would still be off. When you say 'weekend' I infer by that the injury was not work-related. In the absence of any further information I suggest in the first instance a return to work interview to establish their fitness and the cause of the injury.

Posted By Wil The initial back to work interview will largely dictate what measures you put in place. I would talk through his normal day from arriving in the car park through to leaving in order to cover all aspects of his day on site and not just his work.
