FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATIONS/ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS
Job applications don’t offer proof that a candidate is physically capable of safely performing the specific job your company is hiring him to do. A functional capacity evaluation, however, can measure the physical strength and agility of a potential employee to determine if he or she can handle the work before joining your staff.
Louisiana Accident Injury & Occupational Medicine is proud to offer ergonomic assessments customized to mirror the specific job descriptions provided by our client companies. We have been performing these in-house agility and strength tests for decades, having safely evaluated over thousands of job applicants.
The Louisiana Occupational Medicine Advantage:
- Task-specific technology allows us to assess your prospective employee’s physical ability to safely perform a job based on your job description
- We provide the employer with an objective analysis of the ergonomic test reviewed by our staff providers with recommended limitations if necessary
- Ergonomic assessments can also be used to determine if an employee recovering from a recent injury can safely return to work at full capacity
- We offer ergonomic strength and agility testing specifically designed for the work of your company
- By including ergonomic testing in your pre-employment screening, you can efficiently eliminate applicants who cannot safely perform the physical tasks required of the job and help prevent future medical claims
