Injury Prevention & Wellness

"Reducing the risk of injury and improving health and wellness
from the outset, is cost effective in the long term."

Pre Employment Screening and Job Matching

The huge financial cost of returning an injured worker to the workforce means that it is more economically suitable to reduce the risk of an injury from the outset.
The result is better pre – employment screening and job matching. As part of this program we deliver:

1. Accurate assessment of work related activities
2. Precise matching of the physical competencies of each work task
3. Assessments which are reproducible, valid, task specific, non-biased and defensible
