Fitness for Work (FFW) Assessment – Physical

A Fitness for Work/Duty Assessment is an assessment conducted to determine if an individual is physically capable of performing specific job duties safely and effectively. It is predominantly used for non-work-related injuries where employers need additional information to determine if an individual can perform the requirements of the role.

The assessment considers various factors, such as:

  • medical history
  • current health status 
  • medication use
  • any relevant job demands or safety requirements

The goal is to ensure that individuals are fit to perform their job duties without posing a risk to themselves, their colleagues, or the general public.
