Form Dwc 27 28 PDF Details

When an employee is ready to return to work after sustaining an injury, the DWC 27 28 form plays a pivotal role in the transition process. This form, known as the Physician’s Notice of Release to Work, requires submission to the insurer within three days of the employee being cleared to resume employment, ensuring all parties involved— the employee, their attorney, and the insurer—are well-informed. It carries critical information including the employee and employer details, along with the specifics of the injury and the physician’s assessment regarding the employee's capability to return to work, which may indicate whether the return is to regular duty without restrictions or to modified duty with certain limitations. These limitations could range from restricted heavy lifting to prohibitions on repetitive physical activities, tailored to the employee's medical condition and recovery progress. Additionally, the form serves as a certification that the employee does not require further medical items or services related to the injury. This document, mandated by Section 28-33-8(b) of the RI Workers’ Compensation Act, not only facilitates the smooth reintroduction of an employee into the workplace but also upholds their rights to a safe and adjusted work environment, if necessary. Through this form, the Division of Workers’ Compensation enforces a structured approach to handling work-related injuries, ensuring clarity and protection for all parties engaged in the workers’ compensation system.
