A risk assessment forms part of the risk management framework for most organisations. Our risk assessments comprise of a comprehensive screening strategy to assess potential physical risks to workers for particular tasks.<\/p>\n
Not only do our tools identify potential risks to workers, but we also offer solutions to reduce these risks through clinical recommendations and links to strategies or equipment to improve the process of the task<\/p>\n

The safe work instruction is typically based on a previous assessment of the task and is developed in conjunction with safe operating procedures and the policies and procedures unique to your organisation.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Functional Capacity Assessment” open_toggle_text_color=”#EE2E24″ open_toggle_background_color=”#F7F7F7″ closed_toggle_text_color=”#00457C” closed_toggle_background_color=”#F7F7F7″ icon_color=”#EE2E24″ open_icon_color=”#00457C” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#EE2E24″ title_font=”Montserrat|500|||||||” title_font_size=”24px” body_font=”Montserrat|300|||||||” body_font_size=”20px” body_line_height=”1.6em” background_color=”#F7F7F7″ border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_width_all=”0px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
You may have heard of a \u2018physical\u2019 capacity assessment that workers often undertake prior to acquiring new employment. We believe that physical capacity assessments often create a \u2018gap\u2019 between the worker\u2019s physical ability and their ability to perform these same skills under different conditions.<\/p>\n
A \u2018functional\u2019 capacity assessment screens the physical ability of the worker, but then applies this information to a specific job role to ensure that the test is actually reflective of the physical requirements for the job.\u00a0 Each job role has different demands, so why assess all workers using one standardized assessment?<\/p>\n
The information that forms the functional capacity assessment often comes from information collected in a job dictionary that is specific to your organisation.<\/p>\n
