Functional Capacity Assessments: Ergonomic Innovation
At Acorn Occupational Health, we’re leading the way in ergonomic innovation by offering comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs). These occupational health assessments ensure your employees are physically capable of performing their job tasks effectively and safely, while proactively identifying potential health issues.
Motion Capture Technology: The Cutting Edge of Assessment
Our FCAs utilise state-of-the-art Motion Capture technology, allowing us to accurately assess the mobility, capability, and function of your employees. This advanced technology captures precise data on employees’ physical abilities and movements, providing detailed insights into their functional capacity. Our team of experienced Ergonomists then analyses this data, delivering a nuanced understanding of each employee’s capabilities and potential limitations.
Benefits of Functional Capacity Assessments
- Quantitative Data: Make data-driven decisions concerning job placement, work modifications, or reasonable accommodations.
- Minimise Musculoskeletal Issues: Identify and address potential health risks early to reduce workplace injuries.
- Safer Working Conditions: Align working environments with employees’ physical abilities to prevent accidents.
- Improve Employee Engagement: Foster job satisfaction and productivity by accommodating employees’ needs.
- Reduce Sickness Absence Costs: Early interventions minimize the financial impact of prolonged absences.
- Enhance Safety Culture: Demonstrate a commitment to health and safety to build employee trust and morale.
How Our Assessment Works
Firstly, our assessments begin with Motion Capture technology to evaluate employees’ physical abilities and movements. This data provides precise results, which are then analysed by our team of ergonomic professionals. Our experienced and qualified Ergonomists specialise in conducting these assessments and provide valuable recommendations for your employees and business needs.
