Dear Officer,

I am referring Mr. Liam Cooper, a 39-year-old factory worker, for vocational rehabilitation support.

Mr. Cooper suffers from chronic lower back pain and struggles to perform heavy lifting, which is a core aspect of his role. He has had frequent absenteeism and is concerned about job security.

I would appreciate your assessment of possible workplace adaptations to reduce physical strain. In addition, retraining for alternative duties should be considered to support his long-term employment.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely,
Occupational Therapist
