Fitness For Duty Assessments
Assessments of a worker's ability to safely perform their duties, with clear guidance on suitable tasks and strategies to reduce future risk.
A fitness for duty assessment, also known as a fitness for work assessment, evaluates whether a worker can safely perform the inherent requirements of their role, whether or not their condition is work-related. The report outlines the tasks the worker can safely perform and recommends strategies to help minimise future risk.
Employers and insurers use fitness for duty assessments when there is uncertainty about a worker's capacity, such as after an injury or illness, during a return to work, or when health concerns affect safety at work. The findings give decision-makers clear, practical guidance on suitable duties and any restrictions needed.
