Description

A guide to implementing legally compliant physical ability testing (PAT) programs that prevent injuries, optimize performance, and ensure reasonable accommodations
In Physical Ability Testing: A Guide to Safe Job Placement, Accommodation, and Legal Compliance, a team of distinguished medical professionals delivers an expert discussion of the fundamentals of creating a PAT program. Explaining the perspectives of the employer, the authors detail the systematic steps in developing and administering legally valid, job-specific PATs and providing proper interactive accommodation reviews for new hires and incumbent employees.
The book covers testing policies and procedures that address methods to avoid discrimination and minimize disparate impact on protected classes such as individuals with disabilities, older adults, women (including those who are pregnant), and individuals affected by medical or behavioral health conditions such as substance use disorders or recent surgeries. It also provides critical information on defending test failure determinations based on the “direct threat” and “undue hardship” defenses.
Readers will find: A thorough introduction to the validation process best suited for a defensible PAT programComprehensive explorations of PAT programs in a variety of industriesPractical discussions of administering PATs, legal cases covering them, and published scientific literature related to work physiologyComplete treatments of the validation processes used in ensuring PAT programs remain legally defensible
This book is perfect for human resource professionals, occupational physicians and nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, safety professionals, industrial hygienists, ergonomists, human factors specialists, and risk managers.
