Pre-Employment Functional Capacity Assessment

This is a 1 hour assessment of physical strength and flexibility evaluating a prospective employees’ physical ability to safely perform pre-defined work tasks. The test can be easily modified to match the assessment to the physical demands of the workplace. It is designed to identify people who may be at risk of injuring themselves whilst working in your particular work environment.   A written report is provided summarising  the individual’s functional capacity, with particular emphasis on how this compares to the inherent requirements of their work tasks.   Time requirement can vary depending on the extent of the examination required.

Full Workplace Assessment

Pre-Employment assessments are usually most effective, and the results far more meaningful, if they are preceded by a full workplace assessment to accurately define the physical requirements of the workplace. The computerised equipment can be taken to the workplace to analyse the strength and flexibility demands of the work tasks. Key physical requirements are  then identified and prospective workers must achieve these  key physical requirements during functional capacity testing to be deemed safe to perform particular duties.
