Work Fitness Assessments

Ensuring Workplace Suitability and Safety

Work fitness assessments play a crucial role in ensuring that candidates are not only physically fit for their roles but also suitable for the demands of the workplace environment.

At Newcastle Health Solutions, we offer comprehensive Independent Medical Assessments (IME) to evaluate the fitness and suitability of individuals for specific job roles.

Comprehensive Evaluation Work Fitness Workplace Suitability

Our work fitness assessments involve a thorough evaluation of an individual’s physical health, medical history, and functional abilities relevant to the requirements of their prospective job. By conducting IMEs, we help employers make informed decisions regarding the suitability of candidates for various roles, thereby reducing the risk of workplace injuries and promoting a safe working environment.

Ergonomic Considerations

Reviewing workstations, equipment, and work practices to ensure they are ergonomically designed and optimised to minimise the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and improve overall comfort and efficiency.
