The objective of worksite occupational rehabilitation (WSOR) is to progressively improve the individual’s ability to return to their workplace. The individual is re introduced to the work environment following a targeted functional assessment where their safe abilities have been identified. The Occupational Therapist works with the the individual worker , the employer and the rehabilitation team in order to establish a return to work plan in keeping within the individual’s ability level .  

The goal of the return to work program is to maintain the worker in their work environment and perform job tasks within their present or gradually improved capabilities.

Worksite Occupational Rehabilitation is designed and monitored on an ongoing basis by the Occupational Therapist until the worker has plateaued or has successfully returned to performing all their job tasks in a productive manner. Areas of concern such as physical capacities, psychomotor skills, physical skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, work habits, productivity, knowledge of safe work practices and other work-related skills are addressed.
