Figure 4: Disability Management: Prevention, Support for Recovery and Accommodation

The three components of disability management are accomodation, prevention, and support for recovery.

For accommodation, important aspects are accessibility standards, the duty to accommodate, and assistive technologies.

For prevention, important aspects are the Employee Assistance Program and wellness programs, special working arrangements, occupational health and safety legislation and standards, and emergency and business continuity plans.

For support for recovery, important aspects are sick leave and injury-on-duty leave, disability benefits and workers' compensation, and early intervention, case management, and remain-at-work or return-to-work plans.
