Ensuring the safety and well-being of employees is a business necessity for employers in industries such as construction, transportation, and manufacturing. That's why our BTE Fit-For-Duty Testing has become an essential occupational health tool for companies across the country to assess an individual's physical ability to perform their job duties.
Fit-For-Duty Testing, also known as FFD, is a comprehensive evaluation that assesses an individual's ability to perform the physical job demands, as written in their job description, safely and efficiently. They differ from Post-Offer Employment Testing as they are frequently used as a part of Return-to-Work processes when paired with medical examinations after an injury.
