Identify tools and other equipment used

Take all appropriate work site measurements such as forces, distances and repetitions

Identify potential modifications

Functional Job Analysis

The functional job analysis (FJA) is a comprehensive, structured process that identifies and quantifies the physical components of jobs.

A functional job analysis begins with a basic overview of the job, including the duties and responsibilities involved, and the education and experience required.

An activity analysis provides a basic description of the physical demands of the job, and the biomechanical analysis examines forces, weights, distances, tools and equipment.

Finally, a task analysis offers a detailed breakdown of the elements of the task cycle, including postures, forces, frequency and duration of significant physical, mental and environmental demands.

After these analyses are completed, recommendations are made for job design modification, and engineering and administrative controls for job redesign are identified.

The functional job analysis offers a clean functional description of the job position that can be used universally for job descriptions or pre-work screens and then leaves the experienced evaluator with the needed mechanical (anatomical) issues for an individual employee involved and describes this in an ergonomic analysis to provide the source of mechanical dysfunction and ultimate resolution for both the employee and the employer.
