Case Study: Physical Demands Analysis Goals and Wins

How much force does it take to lift a bag of ingredients, pull a loaded pallet jack, operate a grinder, or perform repetitive assembly tasks for an entire shift?

A Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) answers these questions with objective job data. Learn how manufacturers are using PDAs to reduce musculoskeletal injuries, improve ergonomics, support return-to-work and accommodation programs, and make better workforce planning decisions.

• See risks before injuries occur by identifying high-force, repetitive, awkward, and sustained work demands.
• Support safe and successful return-to-work plans with objective job requirement data that matches worker capabilities.
• Improve workforce and operational decisions related to job design, training, staffing, accommodations, and productivity.

Through real manufacturing examples, find out how quantifying the demands of a job can improve both safety outcomes and operational performance.
