Work Site Assessments

A Work Site Assessment utilizes scientific principles and measurements to analyze the components of a specific job relevant to a particular employee. The assessment is frequently performed as part of a treatment plan for an injured worker. The assessment gathers data on the physical requirements of a job for comparison with a worker’s functional abilities. The results are then used to aid in return to work and work conditioning plans / programs. Furthermore, the data is used to identify tasks, environments and equipment that present barriers to return to work and risk factors within the workplace.

This assessment / examination has been performed for the purpose of production of a document and transmission of information to be used to determine entitlement to benefits and may be used for legal proceedings.  (This service is not covered by OHIP as per Regulation 552, Revised Regulations of Ontario 1990 Health Insurance Act Subsection 8.2 (VI) (IX)).  The purpose of this examination and assessment is primarily for the assessment of the patient’s pre-accident work demands (to determine or justify entitlement to benefits) and this information may provide interested parties with the data needed to formulate a treatment plan.
