Job Task Analysis & Job Dictionary

Why Job Task Analysis Is Essential

A Job Task Analysis (JTA) is the foundation of effective occupational health management. Without a clear, documented understanding of what each role physically demands, it is impossible to conduct meaningful pre-employment assessments, manage injury claims accurately, or meet your obligations under Work Health and Safety legislation. A JTA provides the objective baseline that every other workplace health decision builds upon.

At Wellworx Workplace Solutions, our job task analyses are conducted on-site by an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist who observes workers performing their actual duties in the real work environment. We classify every physical demand — lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, sustained postures, repetitive movements, and environmental exposures — using standardised methodology. The result is a comprehensive job dictionary that documents the inherent requirements of each role in your organisation.

This documentation serves multiple purposes: it forms the criteria for pre-employment screening, guides return-to-work planning after injury, supports fitness-for-duty determinations, and provides evidence of your organisation's commitment to WHS compliance. Having a current, accurate job dictionary is also essential when working with insurers and rehabilitation providers to manage workers' compensation claims effectively.
