Hospitality Industry Occupational Job Dictionary ... - SafeWork SA

FOREWORD
Rehabilitation happens a lot faster when an injured
person is in the workplace on alternative duties or
in some type of training where they are encouraged
and valued and where there is immediate support
for the injury if required.
The need for a job dictionary was identified by the
Hospitality Industry OHS Committee and developed
in collaboration with WorkCover Corporation for the
hotel and motel sector.
The dictionary analyses a variety of tasks to assist
employers, employees and medical practitioners
to decide on the appropriate tasks required for an
employee to return to work during the rehabilitation
process of a specific work-related injury.
The work, the worker and the worksite form an interactive
accord. Injury management programs can only be
effective if they address each of these components and
management continuously supports them.
The dictionary can also be used as a resource or tool
for managers and supervisors to recruit new workers
and train existing employees.
‘Working safely is the way of life’ is the Hospitality
Industry OHS Committee’s vision for the hospitality
industry, and I hope this guide will bring you one
step closer to making that vision a reality.
