Disclosure of Injuries & Pre-existing Conditions Template

Having an employee disclose that they do not have any pre-existing injuries or conditions does not affect the employer’s duty of care and obligation to ensure a safe workplace. Hazards must still be controlled to ensure new injuries do not occur.

It's important for a person conducting a business or undertaking to

• Provide an accurate and detailed position description for the vacant position prior to commencing your employment processes
• Ensure your employment processes include a written request to prospective workers to disclose any pre-existing injury or medical condition as this may help when disputing an aggravation claim.

Provide them with this template as part of their onboarding experience.
