- Description
- The primary purpose of the study is to highlight the social security law position of employees involved in MVAs. The study concludes and notes that: The current social security system provides an inadequate prevention strategy for employees involved in MVAs. A blanket program of fitness for work as an occupational accident prevention tool should be legislated and be part of the OHSA general duties of employers to their employees. A social security system that attempts to address loss of ability to earn as a result of occupational injury must incorporate an integrated approach towards prevention of risks, compensation and rehabilitation. Social security legal instruments currently providing compensation for employees involved in MVAs (RAF and COIDA) are promulgated for more benefits. A RTW plan, Vocational assessment and rehabilitation of injured employees, all processes that will aid continued employment for injured employees, will be included. This will ensure that employees continue to earn income which forms the basis of social security.
