Frequently Asked Questions
What is Light Duty Pathway?
LDP is a web-based platform which offers employers both a simple and affordable solution for reducing Workers’ Compensation rates; by avoiding time lost from work. It provides an engaging light duty job for injured employees, with built-in accountability measures.
How do I get back to the video? All I see are quiz questions.
In the video + quiz activities, the video is on the first page of the quiz, so if you see the quiz questions, but have not watched (or finished watching) the video, simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “Previous” button to get back to the video player.
What kind of content does the platform contain?
LDP content consists of training modules based on an 8 hour work day. For each hour of the day, injured employees watch entertaining and informative videos and answer review questions. Most hours also include interactive eLearning activities as well. Topics range from work, home, and environmental safety to personal health and well-being.
How is employee activity time tracked?
The website actively checks to see if the user is active or has the web browser window active while a video is playing. If a user opens another tab or program and leaves a video playing in the background, the time will not be counted as ‘active’.
How do I change my password?
You can instantly change your password via the change password button on the side bar menu. Note: This will log you out and you will need to log back in, so do not do this while working on an activity.
Alternatively, you can use the “I forgot my password” link on the regular lightdutypathway.com login page. This will send a password reset email to the email on file.
How do employees progress through the light duty work day?
The work day is broken up into individual hours; wherein there are safety training videos to watch and activities to complete. Employees can only work on one section at a time, in a set order. When one section is completed, the next one will become available. Employees cannot go back to previously completed sections.
What if an employee has to leave in the middle of a work day?
As long as the employee does not click on a button to complete a video or eLearning section, they can return at a later time and pick up where they left off. This applies even if they log out of the training site or close the web browser. If users leave in the middle of an eLearning section, they may need to restart the activity from the beginning.
Are breaks included in light duty work days?
Yes. We have included pop-up reminders between every two hours of content. Some states require paid rest periods for every four hours worked. Our schedule was designed to accommodate those requirements. Therefore, we have two 10 minute breaks (after hour 2 and 6) and one 60 minute break (after hour 4).
What are the technical requirements to use LDP?
Since LDP is an online platform that uses streaming videos, a broadband internet connection (at least 1Mbps) and a recent web browser are required.
Most content should work on iPads or other tablets, and if any content does not work, it can be skipped, but we recommend using good laptop or desktop computer.
Will workers who complete LDP receive an OSHA Card?
No. The safety content provided by the Light Duty Pathway has been written to meet or exceed OSHA safety standards. However, while LDP is a great supplement to any safety program, it is not a substitute for specific safety training which results in the issuance of Department of Labor OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour cards where required.
