Functional Job Analysis
Functional Job Analysis (FJA) provides employers with an in-depth analysis of the functional requirements of a specific job. It provides a definitive description of the functional parameters and demands of the position. An FJA is a valuable first step for employers wishing to take a pro-active role in minimizing the costs associated with injuries.
Benefits of FJAs include:
- A Definition of minimum and maximum physical demands which are applicable to all employees in that position
- A Yardstick for pre-work screening
- Identification of hazards and prevention of future injury
- Provides standards for applying FCEs and assessing return to work abilities
- Provision of a basis for work conditioning programs prior to return to work
- Job categorization for risk analysis
