Our goal is to prevent work-related injuries and promote a healthy and safe workplace.

Job Site Evaluations

We offer programs that help employers plan and implement injury prevention measures. There are two primary types of job site evaluations available to employers: work risk assessment and physical demands analysis.

Work Risk Assessment

This is an assessment of the industrial or office workplace to determine job specific requirements. Components include:

Evaluation of work activities, sequence of tasks, specific machines and tools used, and required physical demands

Recommendations for tools, job modifications and/or workstation set-up

Identification of physical stressors and solutions to prevent or reduce the risk of injury

Physical Demands Analysis

This analysis determines the essential physical demands of the job. Essential tasks and percentages, physical demand and percentages, forces, environment, equipment and shifts are evaluated. Goals include:

Identifying the physical demands of a job to help employers determine essential job functions and write job descriptions

Acquiring information that can be used to develop pre-employment/post-offer screens

Helping an employer identify appropriate transitional duties for an injured/restricted worker

Obtaining information to help create appropriate job simulations in our Return to Work Program

Helping an employer appropriately implement a job rotation program, set pay rates and assist with disability determinations

Employee Education Services

These services promote the practice of safe work habits. This is achieved through:

Job coaching

Identifying alternative methods of performing work tasks

Encouraging employee responsibility

Educating employees on body mechanics, cumulative trauma, and back/neck injury prevention

Developing employee stretching and exercise programs

Pre-Employment/Post-Offer Screening

This assessment determines an individual's ability to perform the essential and/or high risk tasks necessary to perform a specific job. This enables employers to choose appropriate placement for job applicants. For the best decision support, to make sure you don’t hire your next injury.

Physical Work Performance/Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE)

A systematic evaluation of functional capacities is essential for an accurate assessment of the worker's ability to perform a job. The goal is to determine an individual's safe maximal capability to perform various job tasks. The results of this evaluation are compared with the employee's actual job demands.
