Pre-Employment Strength Testing
Hiring employees who are capable of performing the physical demands of the job is the best way to avoid soft tissue injuries to the shoulder, back, and knee associated with workers who lack the strength or by workers whose previous injuries have not been fully rehabilitated.
Paying for a third back surgery because a recently hired employee reinjured a back injury not fully rehabilitated is expensive and frustrating.
Horton Safety Consultants offers pre-employment strength testing services capable of matching the physical capabilities of the applicant to the physical demands of the job with 98% accuracy. This ADA compliant technology takes 15 minutes to complete and provides test results immediately. Employers who use the technology experience a drastic reduction in soft tissue injuries among newly hired employees and a significant reduction in workers’ compensation premiums.
Pre-employment strength testing is available at Horton locations in Orland Park and Rolling Meadows, Illinois and in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Who should be tested?
Pre-hire: All applicants hired to perform physically demanding work.
Post-injury Return-to-Work Evaluation: By testing employees before they return to work, the test will determine whether your employees are once again fit to perform their previous functions.
Determine Claim Legitimacy: When employees are tested prior to hire, post-injury tests can be compared against a baseline to determine actual extent, if any, of the injury. Additionally, the technology can identify when an employee is faking the extent of his or her injury.
Safety Consultants, the Horton Group’s safety consulting firm, has formed a partnership with Cost Reduction Technologies, the industry-leader in isokinetic testing, to offer highly effective pre-employment strength testing at our locations in Orland Park, Illinois and Waukesha, Wisconsin.
