Job Placement Assessment

Our key method of Job Placement Assessment is Unsurpassed in Evaluating an Applicant's True And Safe Functional Capabilities.

As a certified provider of the Key Method of Job Placement Assessment, our medical facility can provide you with the industry's standard of excellence in Job Placement Assessments. Here's why our pre-screening assessment fully complies with the ADA, EEOC and Affirmative Action:

"Functional" relates to a job applicant's ability to perform job-related functions. And since real work utilizes many body parts, the Key Job Placement Assessment measures whole body movements. In fact, you're provided with statistically based data on six independent and interdependent work performance measurements.

"Capacity" measures a candidate's capabilities to meet the safe physical requirements of the job for an eight-hour workday. The Key Method relates specifically to the critical job functions of lift, carry, push and pull. In addition, weighted workload endurance and cardiovascular stress levels are measured by monitoring cardiac response.

"Assessment" measures an applicant's capabilities to safely perform-over an eight-hour day-the essential functions of the job. Our assessment also identifies body posture and mechanics throughout each activity, so safe lifting habits and potential injury risks can be evaluated. Once the data sheet is completed, our medical facility will provide you with Key's objective and concise Job Placement Assessment Report. This report includes narrative letters, graphics and therapist's comments regarding the cancidate's safe and productive work limits.

Here's Why KEY's Critical Points-of-Difference Offer Company Managers Unsurpassed Reliability....and Peace-of-Mind.

Our Key Job Placement is not a physical exam. Rather, it's a series of specific, objective and standardized protocols administered by our qualified therapists.

• Standardized Protocols. Because Key's Job Placement Assessment follows a series of specific activities in a specific progression, you'll receive objective, accurate and repeatable results-wherever your company may have work sites.
• Objectivity. Our Key Method is based on statistically based functional data, not subjective strength-testing devices. That's why our medical facility can provide you with a standardized and dynamic measuring tool.
• Level of Participation. A real point of difference is our ability to objectively identify candidates at risk due to working beyond their safe limits.
• KEY's Authoritative Data & Reputation. As a Key Provider Facility, we have access to Key's unique "DataBuck DataBank". This vast library of data and technical information on both injured and uninjured workers can assist your company in personnel placement.
• Legally Defensible & Objective Data. The Key Method, with over 12 years of experience, is acknowledged by legal and judicial systems as the objective and authoritative standard for Job Placement Assessments.
• Protocol Based Intelligence. Because Key's protocols are multi-lateral, they intelligently combine ergonomics, body mechanics, strength testing and flexibility measurements. And Key uses the U.S. Department of Labor's Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and SIC codes which are the dominant measurements of work functions and clearly preferred over NIOSH guidelines.
