Functional Capability Testing
Match worker to work environment to prevent injuries with functional capability testing
Different jobs require different levels of physical exertion. Most over-exertion and repetitive motion disorders develop because of a mismatch between the employee and their job. The key to reducing work-related injuries, and subsequently reducing WSIB claims and costs, is to ensure that the physical capabilities of each worker match the physical demands of the job.
Functional capability testing encompasses both pre-placement exams and return-to-work testing. This testing is a proven, objective, and effective tool in helping to match a worker to a suitable work environment. Your company can rely on the results of these tests to help you make quick and informed decisions about placing people in physically demanding jobs, as well as in determining an applicant’s job-related abilities.
