Employment Testing
Occupational Health Services, a service of 7 Hills
Healthcare Center, is committed to helping employers
prevent work-related injuries and maintain a healthy
work force.
Our continuum of services includes treatment,
rehabilitation, case management, screening/testing,
health promotion and education.
|
|
|
Job Site Analysis
Consists of a visit to the job site to analyze
job-specific activities, identify risk factors, and
evaluate physical requirements of the job. Includes
photographing body positions /equipment used to
perform job tasks, and measuring / weighing objects
to determine the essential
job functions. Recommendations are given concerning
adaptations and corrective actions that could
alleviate cumulative trauma and prevent injuries at
the job site.
|
|
|
Post-offer Employment Testing
Tests are administered post-offer, with employment
being contingent upon passing the essential job
functions and/or medical risk criteria for the
position.
Comprehensive Test: 2-hour post-offer test which
gathers data on more than 30 measures to determine a
candidate's ability to safely perform job-specific
activities. Gives a “capable” or “not capable”
recommendation based upon ability to meet
job-specific requirements, or medical risk criteria.
The musculoskeletal information can be used by
medical providers to establish pre-injury status to
avoid paying for rehabilitation services that are
fraudulent or not based
upon achievable functional goals.
Basic Back Evaluation: 30-45 minute post-offer
evaluation to assess current cardiovascular fitness,
safe lifting capacity, and job specific activities.
Does not include musculoskeletal evaluation.
|
|
|
Comprehensive Post Employment / Fit for Duty Testing
2-hour post-employment test which gathers extensive
data to determine a worker's ability to safely
perform physical job requirements. This test can be
used to classify employees according to risk, and
then implement prevention strategies to lower
susceptibility to injury.
Work conditioning, accommodation and other options
are made available to the employer based upon
results.
|
|
|
Carpal Tunnel Screening
Evaluates highly repetitive, high-paced positions
involving upper extremities. Purpose is to identify
individuals with high risk for development of upper
extremity cumulative trauma disorders.
|
|
|
Functional Capacity Evaluations
The FCE measures an employee's function after an
injury. The FCE is designed to follow thesame pre-injury test protocols of the employment
tests to compare the results, document existing
impairment, prove consistency, and create realistic,
objective treatment goals and return to work
recommendations. The FCE is automated and includes
criteria to evaluate symptom magnification,
inappropriate illness behavior, and validity of
performance.
