Job Analysis
Avoid employee work mismatches by identifying the physical demands of jobs in the workplace.
What is it?
Job analysis builds a foundation for your employee injury prevention programs. It objectively analyzes jobs and describes work in a standardized and easily understood manner.
Job analysis assesses:
- Job duties and requirements
- Skills, abilities and education required
- Machines, tools and equipment used
- Environmental factors
- Materials handling requirements
- Postures in which employees work
- Physical demands/durations
Job analysis is an important component for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Written job descriptions (prepared prior to advertising or interviewing) are considered by EEOC as evidence of essential functions.
Our on-site job analysis service can also assist you in:
- Creating a job file
- Identifying jobs with a high risk of injury
- Establishing readiness criteria for the return-to-work of injured employees and can be sent to the physician to assist in this process
- Formulating effective pre-work screening
- Developing ergonomic work-site modifications
Each job analysis will utilize information compiled on-site and will include a narrative of essential and non-essential job functions as well as a detailed description of physical demands.
