How it Works
| Medical History Review | Fitness-to-Work participants are asked to: sign a consent and release form, disclose their complete medical history, and complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). |
| Health Check | This consists of height, weight, and blood pressure measurements and is administered to help determine if there are any contraindications to performing the Critical Strength & Mobility portion of testing. |
| Full Body Musculoskeletal Assessment | This involves examination of flexibility, grip strength, joint integrity, functional movements, and so on, to determine if a participant’s musculoskeletal and medical state safely matches the physical demands of the job |
| Modified Critical Strength & Mobility Testing (Health Assessment #1 only) | During Critical Strength and Mobility testing, participants attempt a series of functional movement stations, such as lifting and carrying, so their strength and conditioning can be assessed. |
| Healthcare Professional Review | Fitness-to-Work testing results are reviewed by a team of medical professionals (i.e. Physical Therapists, Certified Athletic Therapists, and Certified Chiropractors) who will provide a recomendation to hire through the Level 1-5 Assessment scale. |
| Level 1-5 Fitness-to-Work Result with Restriction and/or Modifications (If Applicable) | SureHire’s exclusive Level 1–5 assessment scale is used as a hiring recommendation, matching a participant’s abilities to the physical demands of their anticipated job position. Each level provides employers with potential restrictions or modifications for successful employment. |
| Vision Screening (Optional) | The participant will be guided through a series of 4 different vision exams to determine if they have the necessary visual function to safely perform their work duties. This tests include: Near Vision Testing, Far Vision Testing, Horizontal Field of Vision Testing, and Colour Vision Testing. |
LEvel 1-5 Assessment Scale
We use a Level 1-5 Assessment Scale to determine the level of eligibility that applies to your testing participant.
