  • Title: Decision-making in worker fitness and risk evaluation.
    Author: Pransky GS, Frumkin H, Himmelstein JS.
    Journal: Occup Med; 1988; 3(2):179-91. PubMed ID: 3287653.
    Abstract:
    The information needed to determine fitness or risk and to make employment recommendations and decisions is reviewed. Four key questions are discussed: What are the risks and demands of a specific job? Is the worker capable of performing the job? Would the job place the worker at increased risk? What should the clinician do when there is a likelihood of increased risk or decreased capabilities?
