Clinical Assessment for Safe Role Performance
Fitness for duties assessments are independent medical evaluations that help determine whether an employee can safely and effectively perform the inherent requirements of their role, either with or without reasonable adjustments.
What to Expect from a Fitness for Duties Assessment
A Fitness for Duties Assessment involves a comprehensive review of a worker’s history, examination findings, relevant investigations, and details of previous and current management.
These assessments focus on the intersection between a person's health, their job demands, and workplace safety.
These assessments are thorough and essential in supporting informed decisions about a worker’s ability to return to safe and sustainable work.
A Fitness for Duties Assessment may require:
- A clinical consultation
- A worksite visit assessment may be required to review the workplace environment and physical role requirements
- A comprehensive written report detailing the findings and answers to any specific referral questions
