CASE MANAGEMENT & SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSESSMENTS
WHY EMPLOYERS NEED CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Effective case management and substance abuse assessments are crucial for maintaining workplace safety, compliance, and employee well-being. At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we provide comprehensive assessment and case management services to help employers identify, manage, and support employees struggling with substance use or other health-related concerns. Whether ensuring compliance with workplace regulations or facilitating a structured return-to-work plan, our services help businesses mitigate risk while fostering a safe and productive work environment.
Managing substance use concerns, workplace injuries, and return-to-work programs requires a structured and professional approach. Our case management services ensure that businesses comply with occupational health regulations, while also providing employees with the necessary support to safely return to work. By taking a proactive approach, employers can reduce workplace incidents, protect their workforce, and maintain a positive safety culture.
IDENTIFYING & MANAGING WORKPLACE SUBSTANCE USE CONCERNS
Substance use in the workplace poses serious risks to safety, productivity, and overall employee well-being. Whether it’s alcohol, prescription medication misuse, or illicit drugs, unaddressed substance use can lead to increased absenteeism, workplace accidents, liability issues, and decreased job performance. Employers have a responsibility to maintain a safe, drug-free work environment—not only for the individual employee but for the entire team.
At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we offer comprehensive substance abuse assessments and case management services to help employers detect and manage workplace substance use concerns before they escalate into critical safety incidents.
ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH WORKPLACE SAFETY REGULATIONS
Employers in safety-sensitive industries, such as construction, transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing, must comply with strict workplace safety regulations to prevent substance-related accidents and maintain compliance with industry mandates.
At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we provide expert case management services to ensure that businesses remain compliant with both DOT and non-DOT regulations. Failure to comply with substance use regulations can result in severe penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage. Our compliance-driven approach ensures that your company remains up to date with evolving safety mandates, reducing risk while maintaining a safe and legally compliant work environment.
SUPPORTING EMPLOYEES THROUGH THE RETURN-TO-WORK PROCESS
Returning an employee to work after a substance-related absence, workplace injury, or medical leave requires a structured, well-documented approach to ensure both safety and compliance. Without proper guidance, businesses risk compromising workplace safety, violating regulations, or unintentionally discriminating against employees in need of support. Our return-to-work case management services provide a seamless, step-by-step process to help employers and employees navigate the transition back to work while maintaining compliance with workplace safety laws. A well-structured return-to-work program minimizes workplace disruptions, reduces the risk of relapse or reinjury, and helps employees reintegrate successfully while keeping businesses legally compliant and operationally efficient.
At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we are committed to supporting employers and employees through every step of the return-to-work process, ensuring a smooth transition that prioritizes safety, compliance, and workforce well-being.

Navigating WSIB claims and compliance can be complex. Our team provides expert guidance to help employers manage workplace injuries, submit accurate WSIB claims, and facilitate a structured return-to-work process, ensuring compliance with Ontario’s Workplace Safety & Insurance Board regulations.

Our injury management services help businesses navigate medical assessments, recovery timelines, and workplace accommodations, ensuring that injured employees receive the proper care and support.
ENSURING COMPLIANCE & WORKPLACE SAFETY
Maintaining compliance with workplace safety regulations is not just a legal requirement—it’s essential for protecting employees, preventing accidents, and ensuring smooth business operations. Employers in
safety-sensitive industries must navigate a complex landscape of federal, provincial, and industry-specific safety laws to mitigate risks and avoid costly fines or legal issues.
At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we provide comprehensive case management and assessment services designed to help businesses meet and exceed safety compliance standards. Whether it’s ensuring employees are physically fit for duty, managing substance use policies, or staying up to date with evolving safety regulations, our expertise keeps your workplace compliant and your employees safe.
By taking a proactive approach to compliance, businesses can reduce workplace risks, enhance operational efficiency, and create a safer, more productive work environment for all employees.
DOT & NON-DOT COMPLIANCE SUPPORT
Employers in transportation, construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, and other safety-sensitive sectors must adhere to strict substance use and workplace safety regulations. Failure to comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT requirements can result in penalties, legal repercussions, and safety risks.
At NorthStream Safety & Rehab, we specialize in helping businesses develop and implement comprehensive compliance programs that align with both DOT and non-DOT regulatory requirements. With our comprehensive compliance support, businesses can stay ahead of regulatory requirements, avoid costly violations, and create a culture of workplace safety and accountability.
