Work Injuries
OSHA definition of work-relatedness. You must consider an injury or illness to bework-related if an event or exposure in the work environment either caused or contributed to the resulting condition or significantly aggravated a pre-existing injury or illness.
Tertiary Functional Programs
When injured workers meet established short- and long-term therapy goals, but are unable to return to work due to remaining functional deficits or deconditioning, they may benefit from a higher level of therapeutic intervention designed specifically with a primary goal of returning to work. These are full body intensive conditioning programs that focus on work simulation activities to get injured workers back to work.
Post Offer Employment Testing
A Post-Offer Employment Test (POET) is a physical assessment given to a prospective employee after a formal job offer has been made by the employer. In order to be hired, the candidate must pass the physical assessment, which tests whether he or she can perform the physical demands of the job in a safe manner.
