The Employee Health, Welfare and Safety section coordinates efforts within DOCR, relating to workers' compensation, non-worker's compensation medical absences, Family Medical Leave Act, and sick leave bank cases in collaboration with Office of Human Resources and Department of Finance.  The case manager works to ensure that employees are fit for duty by coordinating mandatory employee Periodic Health Assessments (physicals) with the Office of Human Resources and transitioning employees back to full duty by assigning employees to light duty positions, working with the Office of Human Resources and the Department of Finance.  The case manager leads DOCR's safety committee to work on initiatives and programs that prevent accidents and injuries and collaborates with DOCR's human resources team to conduct training in order to minimize injuries and maximize the health, welfare and workplace safety for DOCR employees.​
