Functional Job Matching

A Functional Job Matching analysis is a series of tests that provide objective information about a worker's functional capacity in direct relation to the specific demands of each job/machine, based on a Job Dictionary. More specifically, it highlights opportunities for job rotation, recognises high risk tasks that exceed the worker’s capacity, and identifies those workers who would benefit from personal strategies to minimise their risk of injury.

The analysis consists of the following three stages:

• Worksite Assessment and Job Dictionary (if not already developed)


• Worker Analysis (Target Functional Assessment)


• Task Matching (using Functional Matching Matrix)

Pinnacle Workplace Consultants will objectively identify gaps between a worker’s capacity and physical job requirements. This provides you with opportunities to minimise the risk of injury to your workers and in turn, direct and indirect costs to your organisation.
