A job demands analysis (JDA) is an evaluation process that analyses the tasks workers must perform on the job. Forces required, loads, frequency of movements, distances, pace, the equipment and tools used and the physical environment are considered. Important components (often overlooked by less experienced evaluators) include the level of skill, physical tolerances, physical capacities and postures required to complete the job. These are also quantified and considered.

Our analyses will provide recommendations for ergonomic changes or organization of duties where appropriate.

The information gathered from an analysis is often critical in matching a workers' abilities to the job.
