Worksite Services
As part of ARC's Continuum of Care, we understand that a healthy workforce starts with a healthy, ergonomically safe work environment. That's why Employers look to ARC to assess the workplace, identify potential risks, redefine functional job requirements -- all strategies that can significantly lower injury rates, prevent future injuries and impact Employers' direct and indirect costs.
ARC has developed a robust range of worksite services to help Employers streamline efficiencies and provide direct, cost and time-effective patient care and assessment including:
Job Site Analysis
The cornerstone of ARC's Post Offer Employment Testing program, the Job Site Analysis, is used to determine the physical requirements to meet the essential functions of the job. The Job Site Analysis is also a useful post-injury tool in determining safe return to work criteria following rehabilitation as well as establishing for comparison with the results of a Functional Capacity Assessment. Often times, even minor changes in the job requirements can significantly reduce the risk of costly future injuries.
Ergonomic Assessment
A healthy, safe and comfortable work environment will enhance employee job satisfaction, efficiency and overall attitude at work. ARC's Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialists provide detailed assessment and recommend simple, cost efficient and effective solutions for problems of workplace discomfort and strain.
Work Station Evaluation
ARC can provide work station analysis as part of our overall Ergonomic Assessment or as a stand alone service module for companies looking to addresses specific components of a job. It is an excellent tool to determine if an injured worker is ready to return to work and can also be utilized with symptomatic employees as an early intervention strategy.
Early Intervention/Prevention Assessments
Customized to your worksite, Early Intervention/Prevention Assessment allows us to identify at risk employees often times before serious injury occurs. We assess the worksite and recommend and implement strategies to reduce the impact of workplace stress and strain. Early intervention also reduces the number of recordable injuries through employee risk education engagement.
Onsite Physical Therapy and Hand Therapy
By providing therapy services at the job site, we are able to eliminate patient travel time to and from the clinic, incorporate the job site in the rehabilitation process and minimize unproductive down time. Our dedicated Onsite Services therapy staff will customize your program to meet your unique needs. ARC uses the same individualized approach to onsite therapy that makes our clinical outcomes so successful.
Work Conditioning
ARC collaborates with Employers and patients to develop a functional return to work program that encompasses all the components of the job. The result -- a restriction free return to work and dramatically improved long term outcomes with fewer reported reinjuries over time.
A unique approach to returning your employee to work we use the job site as the means for rehabilitation. There is no need to develop a job simulation program, the job is the
rehabilitation!
Stretching Programs
ARC develops customized stretching programs based on the specific job requirements of the workplace to provide proactive solutions to reduce injuries on the job.
Onsite Clinics
ARC regularly works with Employers to provide in-house physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics staffed by experienced, talented and highly credentialed ARC therapists.
Wellness and Fitness Facilities and Programs
One of the best ways to prevent injury and provide early intervention in the injury process is to work with employees to strengthen and tone muscles related to frequent and recurring job injuries. ARC provides state-of-the-art fitness and wellness programs that examine workers' compensation injury trends by job category and fully integrate exercise and fitness programs based in part on those specific job-related risks. We will assist you in setting up a meaningful and measurable wellness program as well as help you design and staff your in-house fitness facility.
