What is a Job DEMANDS Analysis?
Designed for Work, Built for Safety
Putting together an inventory of Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) and Cognitive Demands Analysis (CDA), or as we like to call it a Job Demands Analysis (JDA) takes time and financial investment, so what is a JDA and how will your company benefit from it?
Simply put, JDAs clarify the essential job task requirements and support early intervention, assist with case management, and your organization's remain-at-work/return-to-work program.
The JDA is used by the Human Resources Department for inclusion in the job description to help with the recruitment process. The JDA is also required by the Occupational Health & Safety team in the administration of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), Short-term Disability (STD) or Long-term Disability (LTD) claims, to educate treating healthcare practitioners, and to assess worker fitness for a position and/or workplace accommodation.
Ahead of setting return-to-work and recovery goals, the JDA allows the worker, employer, WSIB case manager or disability insurance case manager (STD or LTD), claims specialist, and treating health professional to fully understand the physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and sensory demands of the job, as well as the work environment, equipment, and tools, in order to help:
- Identify barriers to resuming work following an injury or illness,
- Determine the necessary interventions for a successful return with positive outcomes, and
- Develop a realistic plan for return to the pre-injury role - with or without accommodations.
Our objective is to offer comprehensive JDA assessments and reader-friendly reports tailored to your organization's Occupational Health and Safety objectives, as well as return-to-work/ stay-at-work and ergonomics initiatives.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICES
Physical Demands Analysis (PDA)
Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) is a detailed jobsite assessment of the workplace that specifically identifies a particular job's physical demands and ergonomic risk factors.
Cognitive Demands Analysis (CDA)
Cognitive Demands Analysis (CDA) is an in-depth assessment of the cognitive, sensory, psychosocial and behavioural demands of a job.
Job Demands Analysis (JDA)
The combination of the analysis of the physical and cognitive demands is the Job Demands Analysis (JDA), or sometimes also referred to as a Job Site Analysis, Job Site Assessment, Workplace or Worksite Assessment.
Job Match Assessment
Our Job Match Assessment is used for return to work. It compares an employee's documented functional abilities (as per the employee's WSIB Functional Abilities Form (FAF), Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) or other current medical restrictions information) to the physical and/or cognitive requirements of a specific job/task as outlined in a Physical/Job Demands Analysis (PDA/JDA) or a WSIB Physical Demands Information Form (PDIF). Accommodation is recommended where possible and practical.
