Physical Ability Testing — On Site Today
Taking Physical Ability Testing out of the practice and into the workplace.
Today’s setup is all about assessing whether an individual has the physical capacity and functional abilities required to safely perform the high physical demands of their job.
A workplace isn’t a one-size-fits-all environment — different roles place different demands on the body. A good PAT therefore looks beyond simply asking whether someone is “fit” and considers the specific physical requirements of the work.
Our assessment process can include:
🩺 Health Screening
A pre-assessment health screen to identify relevant health considerations and ensure the individual can safely participate in the testing process.
💪 Strength
Assessing the ability to generate and sustain the strength required for occupational tasks.
🏋️ Functional Capacity
Looking at how the body performs through practical, work-related movements and tasks.
⚖️ Balance & Stability
Assessing control, postural stability and the ability to maintain safe movement.
👁️ Vision
Screening visual ability where it forms part of the occupational requirements.
❤️ Overall Readiness
Bringing the different components together to provide a more complete picture of physical work capacity.
The goal isn’t simply to put a “fit” or “unfit” label on someone. It is about understanding the individual, understanding the job, identifying potential limitations and supporting safe, sustainable performance in the workplace.
An onsite assessment also means the process can be brought directly to the workforce — making occupational physical assessment practical, structured and accessible.
Healthy People. Stronger Workplaces.
