- Pre-Work Screens
- Job rotation, modified duty, or transitional work programs
- New employee educational programs
- Fitness and conditioning programs
- Accommodations for disabled employees
Functional Job Descriptions

Pre-Work Screens
A formal assessment of the job applicant’s current physical abilities to ensure they can meet the physical demands of the job.
