Services
Injury management
When a worker is injured, the company incurs cost involved with lost time,
lost productivity, medical care and replacement workers. This also has a negative
impact on the cost of worker's compensation insurance. Work-related injuries
and illnesses need to be treated in a manner that keeps the worker on the job
whenever possible.
HanoverWorks provides immediate care and follow up treatment for work-related injuries/illnesses. As a department of Hanover Hospital, HanoverWorks is able to provide and coordinate injury/illness care on a 24-hours, 7-days-a-week basis through the cooperation of the Hanover Hospital Emergency Department.
For effective management of injuries, case management is provided at no extra cost if requested. Case management is a process with the goal of a positive outcome for both the injured worker and the employer. It involves ongoing assessment of the health and work status of the worker. Work related injuries and illnesses are managed to facilitate communication between all involved and to coordinate medical care to achieve the highest level of outcome. The focus is to promote quality, safe and cost-effective care while achieving the goal of returning the injured worker to pre-injury health and work status.
Examination Services
Post-offer
The employment process begins with a post-offer assessment to insure that the
new employee is appropriately placed. The evaluation provides a baseline for
future reference.
Surveillance
Medical monitoring and associated testing for exposures to workplace hazards
such as noise, chemicals or heavy metals should take place initially and periodically
based on exposure or as mandated by federal regulations. These evaluations are
provided in accordance with the OSHA guidelines.
Department of Transportation
Federal Motor Carriers Association examinations are performed according
to federal DOT regulations. Penn DOT examinations are provided to meet state
regulations.
Return-to-Work
Return-to-work examinations are performed to determine ability to work following
recovery from illness or injury.
Substance Abuse Testing
Another important service offered is substance abuse testing. It has been
well established that substance abuse has a devastating effect on employers.
Substance abuse has been highly associated with employee absenteeism, lower
productivity, workplace fatalities, increased medical costs, increased workers'
compensation costs, theft and violence. Drug and alcohol testing in the workplace
promotes a healthier environment. Post-offer drug testing can assist employers
to avoid hiring employees with a substance abuse problem that could result in
these costly behaviors. Random selection and post-accident testing will deter
the use of drug or alcohol once an employee is working. The substance abuse
testing services are provided by trained and certified staff. HanoverWorks offers
a full range of substance abuse testing as listed below.
