“I am totally sold on the Physical Assessment testing performed by OPC!
The biggest thing I have found is that once the word got out that we were conducting post offer testing most of the prospective employees who had a hidden physical condition did not interview and/or did not keep the physical assessment testing appointment. I been asked several times if/and how much the physical assessment testing was saving our company. My reply is how do you know which person that you have offered a position and never kept the appointment or decided not to interview for a position because of the the physical assessment.
But, if it keeps our company from paying for one work comp injury the physical assessment testing has done what we set out to do. I’m sure our company has saved more than enough to continue the testing for some time to come. OPC and their associated testing sites have been very concerned for our employees’ health & safety as well as the Company’s bottom line. If your Company is undecided as to if physical assessment testing is something you want to pursue, feel free to contact me. It’s a WIN-WIN situation.“
