A Job Task Analysis is a critical component of the onboarding and injury managment processes
Job Task Analysis involves worksite assessment and consultation with workers to systematically establish the job demands – including the physical, cognitive and psychosocial – and the environment exposures. This information:

- Improves RTW commuincation with the doctor and treatment team.
- Is foundational to establishing any pre-employment medical and functional assessment and ensures medicolegal rigour.
- Provides an accurate picture of the job demands for prospective employees.
- Assist in hazard identification and opportunities for ergonomic design.
