The problem

Two documents. Both broken.

Job Dictionaries

Consultant-built, quoted per role, weeks to arrive. So they get done once and never refreshed. Most predate the 2022 psychosocial duty entirely.

Suitable Duties Plans

Doctors certify workers unfit because nobody shows them what the role actually involves. Plans get built in Word from memory. Workers get written off to rest.

Film the task

Anyone on site films the task on a phone. Faces are blurred on the device before anything uploads.

Get the analysis

Joint angles are measured from the footage. REBA categories are computed, not guessed. Psychosocial hazards come from a research-grounded dictionary, so they never hallucinate.

Build the library

Every task analysed becomes part of the role’s Job Dictionary. A physiotherapist reviews and signs where your exposure requires it. The library updates when the work changes, because filming a task again is nothing like rebooking a consultant.

Certificate in

A worker presents a medical certificate. Upload it. Restrictions become structured limits: lifting caps, posture exclusions, duration tolerances, including the conditional ones.

Plan out

DutyMatch matches the restrictions against the library, starting with the worker’s own role, and drafts a Suitable Duties Plan with review dates built in. The worker, their treating doctor and your team sign off from one shared view.

After 45 days off work, the chance of ever returning falls to 50 per cent. After 70 days, 35 per cent.

The psychosocial gap

Your job dictionary probably predates the duty it now has to serve.

Since 2022, identifying psychosocial hazards has been an explicit WHS duty. A DutyMatch Job Dictionary documents them per task, alongside the physical demands, so the document does the job the regulator now expects of it.

Why early matters

The evidence is blunt: time off work compounds.

Good work is part of recovery. The earlier a worker is back on meaningful suitable duties, the more likely they return to their pre-injury role at all.
