Title On-site occupational health and rehabilitation - A model for the manufacturing and service industries
Bibliographic information Marcel Dekker Inc., 270 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016, USA, 2001. xii, 276p. Illus. 41 ref. Index.
Abstract The idea of the on-site model of occupational health clinics, rehabilitation, fitness or wellness facilities in industry has evolved through the use of methods that enable injured workers to get back to work faster while saving money for the employer and cutting workers' compensation costs. This book draws extensively on the author's personal experiences in setting up such services in the manufacturing and service industries.
