Post Offer Functional Employment Testing
According to the U.S. Department of Labor 1 in every 10 workers is not physically capable of performing the essential functions of their job safely. Can you afford to hire an employee who is at far greater risk of an injury that can drive up your workers’ comp or group health insurance costs?
If your company does not test you run the risk of hiring employees turned down by companies that do test.
ARC is saving companies millions through post offer employment testing, and we have the data to prove it. Through a detailed medical questionnaire, dynamic lifting test, job simulation and a thorough musculoskeletal examination, ARC will determine a baseline of function for each employee and identify pre-existing conditions. Companies use the baseline data to protect themselves against claims should workplace injuries arise. It’s data you can use to make decisions that can save your company significant money.
Can they safely do the job?
First: Define the job
ARC’s team will work with you to define the essential functions and physical demands of the job. We’ll develop a legally-defensible job analysis document completed by a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist. If needed, we’ll help you re-engineer a job to reduce the risk of re-injury.
Second: Pre hire, Post Offer Testing
We will work with you to design a post offer functional employment test for each job to determine if the candidate is physically capable of performing the job day in and day out. In the process, ARC will determine a baseline of function for each employee and identify pre-existing conditions including a thorough musculoskeletal examination – which could save your company millions should the employee be injured later. Plus, we’re as careful about collecting the right information for employers as we are about protecting patients’ GINA (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act), ADAAA and other privacy rights.
