Entrepreneurs, Employers!!!

Do you have an employee who has been injured on the job?  Do you wonder if he/she is able to meet the requirements of a job?  Do you know what a functional capacity assessment is?

An assessment of functional and work capacities includes a battery of tests and some tasks simulations that objectively establish an employee's physical and cognitive abilities following a work injury.

Whether for administrative or heavy work, here are some of the measures we're evaluating: 

•       Ability to lift/push/pull loads
•       Tolerance in sitting/standing position
•       Manual dexterity
•       Grip strength

The evaluation will document the specific interactions between the worker, his/her tasks/responsibilities and his/her workplace while taking into account the work injury in order to define the best directions to take in the process of returning to work. The needs of the worker and his/her employer will be taken into account and the assessment will validate whether the worker can meet the requirements of a job.

This assessment conduct by a health professional can take place in a clinic or in the workplace. Yes Yes, Ergo Consult can go directly to the workplace to make a more specific assessment of actual tasks. Did you know that?
