Pre-placement Physical Capacity Examinations
for Palo Alto, Fremont, Union City, and Newark
STRENGTH TESTING
Work simulated strength test (Strength Print TM)
This provides the employer with accurate, dynamic strength assessment to help employer determine level of injury risk in placing perspective employees in given job demands.
Job Specific Testing: An Ergonomist will come to the plant and personally review the work demands and develop accurate test based on given job demands. This service protects the employer by providing a signed pre-determined work demand that is on record with the company and the clinic.
Strength testing is now being used by hundreds of companies in the Bay Area. It has proved an effective aide in hiring the most physically qualified workers and guiding the physician who conducts company physicals to better assess a workers performance capacity.
Target Groups:
- Workers who must lift over 50 Lbs. occasionally and over 30 Lbs. frequently.
ENERGY CAPACITY EVALUATION
This test, using a treadmill, determines a workers projected energy capacity. This is extremely valuable in industrial divisions, which require frequent and constant lifting and highly energetic movement demands. NIOSH guidelines suggest that a worker not exceed 50% of his/her energy capacity in performing work activities due to statistical rise in injury experience that occurs after exceeding that amount. A specialist is available from the clinic to help the company determine the overall energy requirement for selective job tasks.
Target Groups:
- Workers in high production areas involving walking, climbing, sorting, constant and frequent lifting.
