Description
A well designed post offer screening program including PDA, clear acceptable criteria, physical screening, standardized objective tests, and occupational and job specific tests can substantially decrease the number of injuries and resulting costs. The results of a study suggest post offer screening makes a difference on post hire injury and resulting costs. These findings are consistent with the literature reviewed. Occupational health professionals are key to the development, implementation, and evaluation of such a program and can directly affect the company's bottom line when employees are accurately matched to their job requirements.
