Workers' Compensation
Claims Incredible Fact (Did you
realize this?):
A
miniscule
7.4%
of your company's workforce is responsible
for...
a
huge
75.6% of your company's Workers’ Comp costs!
(Source: Quebec
International Task Force, 1994)
PUT BLUNTLY, BUT REALISTICALLY:
if you had A
LEGAL AND ETHICAL WAY TO AVOID HIRING all or
the majority of that 7.4 % of the workforce
as employees in your company TO BEGIN WITH, you
could virtually eliminate 75.6% of your Workers'
Compensation claims, couldn't you?
OHS,
Inc. has the solution for your company...and
it's legal, ethical, effective...and
inexpensive!
Workers' Compensation
Claims
Incredible Solution
(you
really need this!):
The OHS,
Inc.
exclusive
WORKFIT™
pre-placement
physical assessment!
Isn't your company getting "killed" by Workers'
Compensation claims? Lower your claims and lower your costs!
WorkFit™
CAN SAVE YOUR COMPANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
EVERY YEAR BY
LOWERING YOUR WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS-
getting them lower and lower year after year (after year after year)!
Our Workers' Comp Claims
REDUCER
is called "WorkFit™".
WorkFit™
will help you determine BEFORE PLACEMENT if your
job candidates are physically fit or unfit
- per the ADA guidelines - "to fulfill the
essential functions of the position". If
they are NOT suitably physically fit for the
position, and you are UNABLE to REASONABLY
accommodate them under ADA guidelines, you need
NOT hire them. So don't. It's that
simple!
WorkFit™
will help you
in making such correct placement decisions.
WorkFit™
will therefore
help you AVOID placement of physically
unsuitable job candidates. It is those job
candidates (physically unfit for the
position) MOST LIKELY to sustain injuries to
themselves. It is those job candidates
(physically unfit for the position) MOST
LIKELY to later file a Workers' Compensation
claim. NOT hiring those job candidates
physically unable "to fulfill the essential
functions of the position" completely
eliminates the later potential injury AND
another Workers' Compensation claim and Workers'
Compensation payouts by your company. Make
sense?
WorkFit™
will help you
make better placement decisions because it is an extremely
comprehensive
physical health-history survey conducted by OHS, Inc. with
each of your job candidates. It can be completed in about
15 minutes, and our summary report of the confidential results will
normally be delivered to your desk the very next business day!

After just a short time in place,
WorkFit™
can
help you to lower the number of Workers' Compensation claims against your
company and dramatically reduce the associated
payout expenses!
Here's how...
WorkFit™...is
an extremely thorough "physical fitness health assessment"
based on an
extensive health history interview conducted completely in the privacy of your new-hire's own
home or wherever they prefer. Your job candidate uses their
own home phone
(or their neighbor's phone or simply a nearby pay phone) to call our special toll-free
number and initiate their physical assessment interview via an Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
system. WorkFit™
gives your new-hires the option of their interview being conducted in English or in
Spanish!
WorkFit™...incorporates a very
specially-designed health history questionnaire
that is far more
in-depth and far more comprehensive than the typical history
short form used by a
clinic.
Our
75 health-history questions are all asked and answered on the
phone. Your new-hire has a choice of being questioned and answering
in
English or in Spanish. The WorkFit™ exam
will take your new-hire only about 15 minutes to complete toll-free in the
privacy of their own home or
toll-free
from any convenient
pay phone booth.
WorkFit™ questions are all designed to help
determine IF the job candidate is physically-able to "fulfill the
essential functions of the position" for which you are considering them.
IF, based on
their
WorkFit™
health history, they are NOT
physically fit to perform those essential functions (i.e., if, given their
particular physical
condition, the position could be unsafe or unhealthy for them)
then you are permitted under ADA guidelines to rescind their job
offer if you are unable to make reasonable accommodations for them in
your
workplace. Result: you will save your company a very likely Workers' Compensation claim down the
road! The employee benefits from WorkFit™ too, because - by NOT placing them - you
have helped them avoid being placed in a
job that is potentially unsafe or unhealthy for them!
This makes WorkFit™
Win-Win for both the employer
AND the employee candidate!

WorkFit™...does
not require the time, inconvenience, expense
(and the delay in
reporting results) that is associated with a "clinical" exam of your
job candidate.
A
WorkFit™ exam phoned-in (i.e., "completed") by your
candidate on the day
of their job offer is downloaded to our computer at 12 midnight that same evening.
All the answers are then reviewed, evaluated, and scored the next business
morning and our WorkFit™ physical assessment summary report is sent to
you by email or fax (it's your choice) that same day! Turn-around time for
you to get a WorkFit™ physical assessment fitness-for-duty report on your new-hire is 18-24 hours, max, from
the time you offered them the position, with the occasional exception of those
few requiring a follow-up conversation with our
physician.

WorkFit™
questions
cover thirteen (13) categories of
comprehensive physical and mental health history
and reveals any
past problems associated with them.
(NOTE:
your new-hire is clearly cautioned in written instructions and again verbally at the beginning of the questions that
all their answers must be completely truthful...and, that if any of their answers
are later found to be untrue or incomplete, they may be subject to disciplinary action by your
company up to and including dismissal and possible loss of any
Workers' Compensation benefits for falsifying their medical
record).
You will have much more valuable information available
to determine proper and safe
placement of job candidates
and any possible need for arranging workplace "reasonable accommodations"
for them under ADA guidelines. This is essential information that
will help you to start eliminating potential
Workers' Compensation claims before they can
even happen! That's because you will have
- up front - a solid, comprehensive medical evaluation summary
with which to make your placement decision. The
WorkFit report will be based on specific
questions regarding the following areas of the
job candidate's health history:
-
Sensory Functions
(any problem with vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch? ability to read &
write in English? etc.)
-
Musculoskeletal Functions (any problems with back, neck, any joints, hands/grip?
etc.)
-
Neurological Functions (nerve problems? sense of touch/feel problems?
etc.)
-

substances? poisons? foul air? gases? etc.)
-
Exposure Risk Factors (any past exposure to high noise environment? microwaves?
lasers? asbestos, lead, mercury, formaldehyde or other hazardous
materials? etc.)
-
Personal Health Habits (smoker or non-smoker?; any physical exercise? etc.)
-
Vaccination History
-
Past Medical Treatment History (e.g., medications? high blood pressure? any
operations? hernia? diabetes? kidney or liver disease? any treatment for
drug abuse? alcoholism? etc., etc.)
-
Disability History (any time off for injuries? how frequent? how long?
what injury or injuries involved? received any disability awards? etc.)
-
Workers' Compensation Claims Activity
(any past claims or pending claims? what type? etc.)
-
Health "Attitudes" (physical responses and "mental"
reactions to past personal illness
or injury)

To help you determine in advance if
your new-hire potentially may become a Workers'
Compensation claimant against your company, WorkFit™ gets answers to
75
pertinent health questions that secure an
in-depth health history. And
the easy-to-understand WorkFit™ Report you receive will help you to...
...evaluate
present capacity or your new-hire,
physically, "to fulfill the essential functions of the job"
...predict
the
proclivity of your new-hire for
future injury or illness
...manage
rehabilitation and control rehab costs of your new-hire in case of later injury or illness
WorkFit™
Reports do NOT require you to be an "M.D." or an "R.N." to interpret
them! ALL of the above is neatly and simply
summarized for
you in an easy-to-understand
summary report delivered in "layperson" language!
Our WorkFit™
System Profile Report provides you with all of the following for each one of your
new-hires...
1.
A
full physical health assessment
2.
A
summary
of
any past/current Workers' Compensation claims activity (not
available in all states)
3. Any necessary recommendations
for placement accommodations under the ADA
4. Everything
(1+2+3 above) is delivered to you
the next business day after they're hired!
WorkFit™
is
The BETTER Pre-placement Physical/Attitude Assessment!
It answers the question: "Can your new-hire PHYSICALLY
"perform the essential physical functions
required" by the job description without getting hurt or injured?"
WorkFit™
will let you know!
WorkFit™ begins
with a physical profile system, which can utilize (but does not require) an
expensive clinic
visit by your new-hire.
Based on the
WorkFit™
Physician's evaluation of your new-hire's past and current state of health,
any pre-conditions, and physical ability, you are provided in writing with any placement and
accommodation recommendations that may be deemed necessary.
WORKFIT™
provides you with a permanent written record to prove to the
ADA that
your company is doing its very best to comply with the legal requirement that
you provide all of your employees with "a safe and healthy work environment!
Plus...indicators of the applicant's “illness behavior
history” are gathered as
well (e.g., Do they stay home in bed when they only have the sniffles?).
The identification of this
behavior is essential and important for later use in the “Delayed Recovery
Analysis” should this employee later become ill or suffer injury.
It's one more reason that
WorkFit™
is an incredible pre-placement tool for your company!
