  • Functional job analysis, an on-site assessment of the physical demands of job duties. It can include ergonomic recommendations and a written job description.
  • Pre-work pre-placement screens include brief physical performance tests developed to assess job applicants' basic ability to perform specific job duties.
  • Work conditioning is a supervised program of exercise that can help an employee return to work following an illness or injury.
  • Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is an extensive physical examination performed on two consecutive days to determine specific physical capabilities as part of a return to work program or as part of a job search process following injury or illness.
  • Onsite education on various topics related to prevention and management of injuries and wellness.
