Antique - very good point.
As a CPr, I do agree w/your main point 100% and feel that this community past, present & future make significant productive contributions to the workforce. A genuine concern though is workplace safety. We are all different & respond, metabolize & experience an array of side-effects & contraindications from our prescribed routines. This can, and data demonstrates, pose an occupational hazard to some – depending on essential job functions of course.
This is oversimplified but a concern. Ideally all CPrs would be productively employed performing more than make-work via some poorly managed return-to-work effort at the same time while not increasing any occupational hazard. I have personally witnessed a serious injury as a direct result of an employee operating machinery under the prescription of 10/325 – working in modified duty capacity. So I agree but with caution.
