Laws and regulations
For worker safety
The Act respecting occupational health and safety ensures that workers in Quebec have the right to adequate health and safety care. In the event of an occupational injury or illness, employers are required to redirect employees to lighter duties or respect recovery periods. Workers may receive compensation for lost wages resulting from the accident or injury.
The importance of medical follow-up
Our medical approach to CNESST follow-up
While such consultation is important from the outset, the doctor plays a major role throughout the recovery process.
-
Initial medical assessment From the very first meeting, our doctors carry out a precise clinical examination to establish a clear diagnosis, assess the extent of the injury and determine whether any limitations are temporary or permanent.
-
Treatment plan Prescription of adapted care: medication, physiotherapy, orthotics or other interventions depending on the type of injury or occupational disease. The aim of this plan is to ensure effective and rapid recovery.
-
CNESST administrative follow-up Rigorous management of all official CNESST forms required for file progress: medical reports, attestations, progress reports, and extensions as needed.
-
Reassessing and adjusting care The physician may adjust the treatment plan or limitations according to the evolution of the worker's condition, updating the documents required by the CNESST.
-
Recommendation for reassignment or preventive withdrawal If necessary, the doctor issues a medical opinion on the worker's reintegration into his or her job, or recommends preventive withdrawal (e.g.: pregnancy), taking into account the nature of the position and the state of health.
