Post Offer Evaluation can be
developed.

medical screening?

specifically

the essential physical functions
of the job. This
evaluation is used for new hire candidates and can be used for
intra-company transfers.

Q: How is the On-Site Injury Triage service different from an on-site nurse
or ealth care professional?
A: In a more traditional model, when an employee is injured on the job,
the employee
leaves their workstation to report to an on-site health care provider. If a health care
provider is not on-site, then the employee is sent off-site to a local health care
facility.
Our system reduces lost-time by meeting
with employees at their actual job-site and encouraging early
reporting of discomfort before it becomes an injury. Our specialists
are licensed
allied health care providers who treat musculoskeletal sprains
and strains.
Q: When you say “health care professional,” what does that mean?
A: Currently, our injury triage specialists are Certified Athletic
Trainers (ATCs). In professional and amateur sports, athletic trainers
function as first responders to
evaluate nd treat injured athletes
on and off the field. Applying the sports
medicine
model to the industrial athlete is a rapidly growing area
for the ATC.
Q: What happens if an employee suffers a serious acute injury on the
job
and we have an On-Site Injury Triage specialist?
A: Our specialists are licensed health care providers who
primarily treat
musculoskeletal sprains and strains. If an employee suffers a serious acute injury (i.e. broken bone,
etc.) that employee should immediately report to an occupational
health center on/off-site or emergency room, depending on the
severity of the injury. Our specialists can
assist in this process, however, they can only help triage the
injury until appropriate emergency medical care arrives.
Q: Does Advanced Worksite Solutions work outside the state of
A: Yes. While our headquarters is located in
