- Assess the worker’s current physical abilities and limitations
- Help assess the worker’s ability to return to work or to develop an alternate employment path
Pre Employment Assessments
Northern Beaches Physiotherapy Clinic provides clients with a number of different types of Pre-Employment Assessments including:
- Physical Objective Assessment
- Functional Capacity Evaluations
- Specific task analysis and testing
- Individual company assessment tools and reports
Pre-employment assessments should take into account the specific task involved in a job and the candidate or worker’s physical ability to perform them.
Some examples of the Pre-Employment Assessments tasks include:
- Medical history
- Medical examination
- General fitness
- Postural tolerances
- Manual handling
- Dynamic activities
- Grip strength
Testing specific tasks against specific work tasks can ensure that employees are able to meet the physical demands of the job that they are applying for. Employees can then act by providing additional training and/or moving the worker to another area if they don’t meet these requirements of the job.
Any company can contact Northern Beaches Physiotherapy Clinic for quotes and other information regarding performing Pre Employment Assessments.
