Both kinds of injury need the same first step, which is a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors are the ones who examine you and sign that certificate. Our physios treat the chronic strain and the acute injuries from orchard, cider and trade work.

2

Get your Certificate of Capacity

Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.

3

Notify your employer

You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
