✅ Fit-for-Duty Exams: Supporting Safe Return-to-Work & Smart Hiring Decisions
When an employee is coming back after an injury, illness, or extended leave—or when you’re bringing on a new hire—Fit-for-Duty exams help answer one important question:
Can this person safely perform the essential duties of the job (with or without reasonable restrictions)?
At Integrated Care, our Fit-for-Duty evaluations can be used for:
🔹 Return-to-Work (RTW)
Clarifies readiness to return after injury/illness
Identifies safe work restrictions (if needed)
Supports a smoother transition back to full duty
🔹 Pre-Employment / Post-Offer
Confirms capability to perform job demands
Helps reduce workplace risk and prevent injuries
Establishes objective, job-related expectations from day one
What to expect:
✔ Review of job requirements and physical demands
✔ Clinical evaluation and functional assessment (as appropriate)
✔ Clear, objective documentation for employers (within privacy guidelines)
