Physical Demands Analysis (PDA)

A Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) is the foundation of a safe, efficient, and compliant workplace. By clearly defining the physical requirements of each role, employers gain the insight needed to make informed hiring decisions, support return-to-work planning, and reduce the risk of workplace injuries. A PDA helps ensure that job candidates and employees are matched to positions that align with their abilities, improving performance and long-term success. With accurate, objective data, organizations can build stronger safety programs, meet regulatory obligations, and promote a culture of prevention. Investing in a PDA empowers employers to protect their people, reduce costs associated with injuries, and create a healthier, more productive workforce.
