Colorado law states that drivers with a CDL must have an up-to-date DOT medical exam or they are no longer qualified to operate a commercial vehicle. DOT physicals are valid for 2 years and must be given by an FMCSA Certified Medical Examiner. DOT physicals are valid for 2 years. If your DOT physical is expired, you must downgrade your CDL to a regular license.

After sustaining a workplace injury, Colorado's workers' compensation claim process may seem intimidating. With many special rules and regulations, Colorado workers' compensation law is unique, although the end-goal is the same: ensuring that workers' health, rights, and livelihood are protected when an injury happens at work.

As an employer in Colorado, providing vaccinations to your employees is something worth considering. Depending on your industry, vaccinations may be vital to protecting the health of your employees and those you serve. Good examples of this would be healthcare workers or those who work with the elderly or even children.

For many workers who have had a workplace injury, their first question is: "How long am I going to miss work?" In a perfect world, everything would get put aside to make sure that they can recover from their injuries fully. However, bills, kids, and other living expenses combined with missed wages mean that most workers want to return to work as soon as possible. Returning to work after a workplace injury needs to be handled carefully: making sure that you've recovered fully needs to be the top priority while also preventing re-injury.

If you have suffered an injury, undergone certain types of surgery, or experience physical limitations due to aging or underlying health conditions, physical rehabilitation may be necessary to restore the body to optimal form and function. Without an effective treatment plan, the rehab process can take a lot longer than need be while also running the risk of less-than-optimal recovery.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) focuses primarily on protecting employees in the workplace from accidents, injuries, and exposure to harmful substances. While accidents can happen at any time, it is still the employer's responsibility to ensure that they take steps to reduce the risk of incidents and maintain a safe working environment.

Physical therapy is a critical component of a patient's recovery from an accident or injury. With the recent implementation of Patient Driven Payment Model(PDPM), many clinics are comparing whether contract or in-house therapy is the best. Using agency contracted therapists does have some benefits, but having a team of in-house therapists (not to be confused with 'at-home therapists') is can greatly benefit the patient and their experiences through recovery.
