MOHA physicians are trained in ergonomics and biomechanical. MOHA physicians perform job site evaluations for multiple reasons as listed below:
- Causation
- MOHA clinicians are trained to evaluate the biomechanical factors of job duties to determine if a plausible relationship exists between a workers' medical condition and the work place.
- Ergonomic Modification
- MOHA clinicians can evaluate job tasks and then provide recommendations for ergonomics modifications to reduce and/or prevent injuries.
- Job Description
- MOHA can review existing job descriptions to determine if they are appropriate for the task to be performed or facilitate the creation of new job descriptions based upon physical review of job tasks. Changes in job descriptions can aid in the medical exam process to ensure that new hires are physically able to perform the demands of the position.
