General Information

 

The WorkSTEPS employment testing program was founded to meet a critical need - to create a reliable, medically and legally defensible employment testing program which could effectively reduce workplace injury incidence and workplace injury cost. The concept for the program was developed approximately ten years ago when it was realized that very few medical practitioners comprehensively addressed industrial medicine. Furthermore, there seemed to be no objective means to reduce unnecessary prolonged treatment for legitimate injuries or to identify illegitimate claims.

THE WORKSTEPS PROGRAM

  1. Identifies persons who do not meet job specific strength and/or aerobic requirements;
  2. Assist employers in appropriately matching current and new employees to safe/appropriate job positions;
  3. Collects base line physical measurements for comparative analysis to post testing injury/trauma (compares pre-injury and post injury impairment measurement to avoid payment for a pre-existing loss;
  4. Assists in identifying persons who have pre-existing cardiovascular, degenerative, or cumulative trauma disorders,
  5. Allows determination of objective physical/functional loss;
  6. Qualifies legitimate injuries and disqualifies fraudulent injuries;
  7. Controverts illegitimate claims and stops unwarranted payment of workers' compensation benefits;
  8. Allows successful medical/legal intervention compares an employee's pre injury and post-injury status;
  9. Expedites rehabilitation and return-to-work post legitimate injury; and
  10. Assist employers in compliance with applicable federal and state statutes.
