Assessing Fitness to Work

A mining company in Australia wanted to recruit miners from the UK to work in the burgeoning mining industry in Australia. However, the company wanted to ensure that any potential employee would be fit and well enough to undertake the work once they arrived. In Australia, the mining company put new employees through a rigorous testing procedure and were looking to implement a similar system in the UK

Functional Capacity Assessment

WorkFuture Ltd was selected to provide the Functional Capacity Assessments in conjunction with JobFit Systems Australia to assess the fitness and capacity of individuals before they were accepted to work in Australia. The testing includes strength, fitness, working postures, lifting and carrying ability. The fitness assessment was part of wider medical assessment to help identify if the individuals have the capacity to do the work required without posing a risk of injury to themselves.
