LEARNING OBJECTIVES

"Non-screened workers were 2.38 times more likely to experience a musculo-skeletal-related overexertion injury specific to the knees, shoulders, and back than screened hires..."

Municipal employers are responsible for protecting employees from injury and illness—and this includes protecting them from the aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions.

If a job opening is physical in nature or labor-intensive, CIRMA recommends that its members implement a Pre-Employment Physical with a Human Performance Evaluation (HPE) component in its hiring process. These post-offer, pre-employment requirements help ensure that a new hire can perform the physical-essential functions of the job. An added benefit is that the HPE component is a good opportunity to instruct new hires about how to safely perform the physical-essential functions of their job.

This CIRMA workshop will show you how to implement a Pre-Employment Physical requirement with an HPE component that protects the municipality from high loss costs associated with on-the-job injuries.

Topics covered include:

The components of a pre-employment physical, including the importance of a Human Performance Evaluation (HPE).
The cost and operational benefits of a post-offer, pre-employment physical requirement.
Why and how to use the Cost-of-Risk calculation to support the adoption of a pre-employment HPE.
The legal aspects of implementing a post-offer, pre-employment physical requirement, including Americans with Disabilities Act considerations and requirements.
Rescinding an offer after a failed Pre-Employment Physical.
CIRMA’s 6-step approach to implementing an effective Pre-employment Medical & Fitness program.

AUDIENCE This workshop is designed for:

Human Resource Managers and personnel
Chief Elected Officials (Mayors, First Selectmen, Town Managers)
Risk Managers
Town Administrators
Hiring Managers
Superintendents of Schools
School Business Managers
