Work-Based Functional Assessments
What are Work-based Functional Assessments?
Work-based Functional Assessments are thorough evaluations of an employee's physical and functional abilities in relation to their specific job requirements. These assessments help identify any limitations or accommodations needed to perform their tasks safely and efficiently. They are particularly useful for:
Post-offer Screening: Determining if candidates are physically capable of meeting job demands.
Return-to-Work Assessments: Assessing employees recovering from injury or illness to ensure they can safely resume their duties.
Job Match Evaluations: Matching employee capabilities with job requirements to optimise performance and reduce injury risk.
Disability Accommodations: Identifying necessary workplace adjustments to support employees with disabilities and long-term health conditions.
