Physical Demands / Job Site Analysis

The objective of assessment is to determine the essential tasks of the client's job and objectively measure the physical demands necessary to complete the tasks. To ensure objectivity, our therapists are equipped with a Chatillon Push/Pull Gauge, Jamar Dynamometer, weight scale and tape measure. These tools are calibrated regularly to ensure admissibility in arbitration or court proceedings.

If the client is unable or unwilling to attend the workplace with the therapist, a theoretical Job Analysis can be performed by observing another person performing the tasks and verifying these with the employer. In all cases, we ask the client and the employer to review the Job Analysis report and sign to agree that it is accurate. By taking this step, we reduce the likelihood that accuracy and completeness of the Job Analysis will be questioned at a DAC assessment or arbitration hearing.
