Job Analysis
The Foundation
Job Analysis for MSD Prevention Programs
Job Demands Analysis quantifies the physical requirements of the job and is the foundation for all your MSD prevention programs. The ErgoScience Quantitative Job Demands Analysis documents the percent of the day spent performing the various job tasks and physical requirements, as well as quantifying the weights handled and forces exerted.
Don’t be tempted to omit this critical first step. A house with a shaky foundation won’t withstand the tests of time.
Job analysis is important for…
- developing physical abilities tests
- addressing early symptoms
- assessing and reducing ergonomic hazards
- making better return-to-work decisions
- training your workforce
But not all job analysis is created equal. The differences can make or break your prevention and return-to-work programs. Defensible job analysis requires expertise.
Hear from our clients
Our clients love working with us, just read what they have to say!
We began to realize that our JDA could be used in multiple applications. The JDA was our legally defensible job description. It was created by an unbiased third party (ErgoScience) that had studied, measured, and deeply understood our job tasks. This JDA has been provided to doctors, nurse-case managers, insurance adjusters and attorneys. It is used for RTW, ADAAA accommodation discussions, customizing return-to-work/fitness-for-duty tests, restricted-duty task assignments, and much more. Leadec can be assured that we have an air-tight, defensible job description thanks to ErgoScience.
