SKSWood is committed to ensuring as far as reasonable practicable that all employees are safe from preventable injury and risk to health while they are at work. However, in the event of injury, we believe that the provision of quality assistance through rehabilitation and effective case management is in the best social and economical interests of both the injured employee and the company. Collectively, we aim to mitigate the impact of injury and illness by actively fostering the principles of:

Personal Responsibility
Each individual is responsible for the prevention of illness and injury at work and for the compassionate management of those undergoing rehabilitation and return to work programs. This will be achieved through open and constructive communication between all parties and compliance with workman’s compensation under the law of Brunei Darussalam.

Accountability
SKSWood is accountable for assisting the injured employee in returning to meaningful, productive employment at the earliest opportunity. This is achieved with a holistic approach through management of the employee’s physical and psychological needs.

Risk Management
The planning and facilitating of a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Program will be done in consultation with the treating medical practitioner, other associated service providers and the employee. Expert assistance will be provided where necessary to assist the employee in returning to his usual place of work at the earliest opportunity. Employees will be retrained for alternative employment where applicable.

Learning Culture
All personnel within the working environment play an important role in the successful rehabilitation of an injured colleague. Expectations and limitations will be clearly identified to all parties.

Relevant managers and supervisors shall provide support to effectively achieve sustainable return to work outcomes.

One Constant Approach
Systems are implemented across the business that ensures the professional and timely management of all rehabilitation and injury management cases. SKSWood shall apply consistent approach at all times.

Privacy
All information that is gained through the injury and rehabilitation process is treated in the strictest confidence. Written permission is requested from injured employees prior to granting access to any medical or associated records.
The SKSWood contract Representative is accountable to SKSWood Board of Directors for ensuring that this policy is implemented throughout SKSWood operations. I give my personal commitment to promote effective implementation of this policy. This policy will be reviewed every 2 years.
