We Are Also Good At Preventing Injuries
Members of the Occupational Medicine staff are skilled at
performing on-site job design assessments. These reviews of
the work place, specific jobs and detailed job descriptions
help us work together to reduce the likelihood of work place
accidents and injuries occurring. If our macro-level evaluation
indicates the need for further study, we can facilitate a
full ergonomic analysis of a specific job or work station,
or of your entire facility. Complete ergonomic analysis can
be provided through our partnership with the nationally respected
firm of Gary Nederveld & Associates.
In addition to preventing injury, job design assessments
allow our staff to become familiar with your work site. With
this information we can make more informed recommendations
relative to post-job offer physical examination standards,
return-to-work opportunities and follow-up care for injuries.
