WorkSTEPS testing evaluates an employee’s ability to perform essential job functions and identifies any pre-existing conditions that may place the employee at medical risk within a specific job. Employers are provided with all test results and a capable / not capable recommendation within 24 hours.

Functional Employment Testing:

     •Reduces work-related injury and losses associated with lost time, worker replacement, and lost productivity

     •Identifies applicants that do not meet the physical demands of the job

     •Decreases turnover rates

     •Reduces work comp claims & lost time

     •Reduces group insurance costs

     •Assists employers in appropriately matching employees to safe and appropriate job positions

     •Increases worker productivity

     •Prevents injuries

     •Collects baseline medical and functional capabilities for comparative analysis in the event of an injury

WorkSTEPS identifies and documents any pre-existing conditions and determines an employee’s overall safety to perform specific jobs. Implementation of the WorkSTEPS Program has enabled hundreds of industries to significantly reduce work place injuries and injury-related costs.

Components of the WorkSTEPS Employment Test include:

     •Musculoskeletal evaluation, including range of motion, strength, posture, and joint integrity.

     •Cardiovascular measures, including blood pressure and heart rate.

     •Strength evaluation of the back and extremities, with assessment for deficits and /or abnormalities.

     •Job specific components and job simulations, including instruction in proper body mechanics and lifting               techniques.

Following completion of the test, results are entered into the WorkSTEPS database, which generates a profile of each individual employee in relation to the physical demands level of each specific job. In the event of a future injury, the report also establishes the baseline medical and functional capabilities of the employee for comparison to future, post-injury data.

In addition to the post-offer functional employment testing, we also offer pre-employment drug screening services.
