This is a physical assessment of an employee’s capacity to safely carry out a job.
What is the benefit of a Fit-for-task assessment?
- Ensure employees returning to work are able to perform the inherent requirements of their role
- Assist with ongoing rehabilitation strategies
When your business might perform a Fit-for-task assessment:
- When an employee has been injured, and the employer would like to ensure they are ready to return to full duties
- When an employee on light duties is placed on further restrictions
- When an employee is claiming that they can no longer perform the inherent requirements of the role without pain
- To determine if the employee requires any restrictions, whether temporary or permanent, placed on them performing their role
