Resource Update

Periodically, the Authority updates its resource library, including existing and newly developed resources. Below are some recent updates.

Resource Update

The Injury Investigation and Root Cause Tools assist members with identifying the root cause of industrial injuries or illnesses and includes the “Five Why’s.” The tools also include an injury or illness control failure and root cause diagram, and supervisor’s and employee’s report forms of injury or illness. The Authority collects this information with the goal of reducing the frequency and severity of losses by conclusively identifying the root cause of industrial injuries or illnesses. This resource update was made available to members in February.

The Temporary Modified or Light Duty Assignments and Return to Work Program includes a template policy, return to work program, and offer memorandum. The resource also contains procedures that address an employee’s industrial or non-industrial temporary assignment to modified or light duty and was made available to members in April.

The Workers’ Compensation Guidelines and Forms were updated and made available to members in April. These guidelines and various forms address workers’ compensation claims, including recordkeeping, first aid claims, three-point contact, salary continuation, physician pre-designation, off-duty recreational activities, and other common questions.

These resources can be accessed and downloaded in the library section of the Authority’s website, cjpia.org. Resources available in Word format allow members to customize them to reflect agency-specific policies and procedures.

If you have any questions, please contact your regional risk manager.
