Measures, equipment and practices that companies use to keep workers from getting hurt on the job, such as training, safety gear, machine guards, and procedures for risky tasks. Like routine maintenance for a car, effective prevention reduces breakdowns — for investors that means lower medical and legal costs, fewer lost workdays, steadier production and less reputational or regulatory risk, all of which can protect profits and valuation.
post-offer employment testingtechnical
Post-offer employment testing is the set of checks an employer requires after making a job offer but before the new hire starts, such as drug screens, medical exams, background or fitness-for-duty assessments. Investors should care because these tests can delay or void key hires, affect operational continuity and regulatory compliance, and signal potential legal or reputational risks—think of it as a final quality control step that can change whether a promised hire actually happens.
functional capacity evaluationsmedical
Functional capacity evaluations are structured assessments that measure a person's physical and sometimes mental ability to perform specific job tasks, like lifting, standing, or concentrating. Think of it as a road test that shows whether someone can safely and effectively return to work or needs accommodations; for investors, these evaluations influence healthcare and insurance costs, benefit payments, workplace liability, and the pace at which employees can be returned to productive roles.
ergonomic assessmentstechnical
Ergonomic assessments are evaluations of workstations, tools and tasks to see how well they fit the human body and reduce strain or injury. Like tailoring a chair and desk to a person's shape, these reviews identify changes that can lower medical costs, reduce sick leave and boost productivity. Investors watch them because better ergonomics can cut liability and operating costs, improve employee retention and protect a company’s reputation.
