Put simply, we do notjust ask the applicant or employee if he or she is able to "do the <br />job" or `return to work ", rather, our approach provides a quantifiable vsay to make such a determination <br />for each appiicantand/or employee as part of an individualized assessment. <br />The cornerstone of creating legal defensibility in Occu -Med's EXAMQA Occupational Medicine Program <br />begins with the administration of Job Analysis, i.e. initially validating all medical testing performed <br />through a statistically validated method. Job Profiles (see APPENDIX R) are prepared for use in <br />evaluating pre - placement. Fitness- for -duty and return -to -work medical e- xaminations by conducting- on- <br />sitejob analysis sessions. The procedure utilized during thejoh analysis sessions is the same one that we <br />have used for more than 3,000 other agencies: Physical Abilities Analysis, <br />Physical Abilities Analysis is a structured group process that involves interviewing job Incumbents from <br />thejjob being analyzed. Lt preparation for thesejob analysis sessions Occu -Med works with the City to <br />determine statistically valid sample sizes (number of job incumbents) for thejob classes and schedule the <br />sessions. During the job analysis sessions, Incumbents are asked to identify the most demanding essential <br />,job tasks for 19 physical ability categories, and then they are instructed to rate those tasks on a 7- point, <br />behaviorally - anchored scale. The incumbents are also asked to complete a questionnaire that addresses <br />the environmental factors that the) may be exposed to in their job. Overall, each session requires about <br />one and one -half hours to complete. <br />Data collected will then be qualitatively and statistically anal) zed to develop Job Profiles and Medical <br />Examination Component Profiles For cach,job class studied. The .lob Profile accurately and fully the most <br />demanding essential ,job tasks of thejobs studied, and the Medical Fswuinmion Component Profile (see <br />APPENDIX C') details the specific medial tests that are job- related and consistent with business <br />necessity and therefore recommended to find or diagnose the medical or physical conditions that mould <br />be of concern for that,joh. <br />6 ; Occu -Med <br />25A -22 <br />
