“Reducing Strains and Sprains Injuries: Using Physical Demands Validation and Functional Testing Programs to decrease musculoskeletal risk”
Worker Compensation claims affect your business, and back injuries are one of the top claim areas in many industries.
Has your company placed an emphasis on wellness and safety? Have you seen a positive return on investment for your efforts and have you seen decreased injury rates?
Post-offer, pre-employment testing programs are valid, reliable examinations used to determine if a potential employee can safely perform the job before they are hired and are based on the essential physical demands of the job. Therefore, understanding and validating the physical demands becomes a critical component in the development of a testing program.

Come and explore how Physical Demands Validation (PDV) lead to a variety of safety tools including ergonomic, safety training, wellness and functional testing programs. Learn about the different types of functional testing programs, how each tests physical ability differently and how the clinical examination portion of the test may differ between types of programs. Each of these aspects plays an important role in mitigating risk. Understand how PDV and Function Testing can help to decrease absenteeism and presenteeism, increase productivity, decrease injury rates and be an essential part of your safety and wellness strategy.
