Completed by Qualified Allied Health Professionals – Delivered Face to Face in One Hour Sessions

A Job Task Analysis (JTA) is a structured, evidence based assessment designed to understand the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial demands of a specific role. Conducted by qualified allied health professionals, each JTA is delivered face to face and typically completed within a one hour session per role. These assessments provide organisations with clear, actionable insights that support safe recruitment, workforce planning, injury prevention, and compliance with workplace health and safety obligations.

Our JTA suite includes two formats-Short Form and Long Form-each tailored to different organisational needs, levels of detail, and strategic applications.

A concise, high value assessment designed for speed, clarity, and operational decision making.

The Short Form JTA provides a streamlined snapshot of the essential physical and functional requirements of a role. It is ideal for organisations seeking rapid insights to support recruitment, return to work planning, or role clarification without the need for extensive documentation.

What It Encompasses

• Role Overview
  A clear description of the position, its purpose, and its core responsibilities.
• Key Physical Demands
  Identification of essential physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, standing, walking, and repetitive movements.
• Functional Requirements
  Assessment of postural tolerances, mobility needs, fine motor demands, and environmental considerations.
• Task Frequency & Duration
  High level categorisation of how often key tasks occur (e.g., occasional, frequent, constant).
• Risk Identification
  Quick identification of potential injury risks or high demand tasks requiring further attention.
• Practical Recommendations
  Brief, actionable suggestions to support safe performance or guide recruitment decisions.

Ideal Use Cases

• Fast paced recruitment environments
• Early stage workforce planning
• Return to work discussions
• Roles with low to moderate complexity
• Organisations needing rapid compliance documentation

A comprehensive, deeply detailed assessment for organisations requiring full visibility and defensible documentation.

The Long Form JTA offers an in depth, highly structured analysis of every physical, cognitive, and environmental component of a role. It is designed for organisations that require robust, defensible documentation for risk management, complex recruitment, ergonomic design, or compliance with regulatory frameworks.

What It Encompasses

• Detailed Role Profiling
  Full breakdown of job purpose, key responsibilities, workflow patterns, and operational context.
• Comprehensive Physical Demand Analysis
  Quantified assessment of lifting loads, force requirements, postural demands, manual handling tasks, and movement patterns.
• Cognitive & Psychosocial Demands
  Evaluation of attention, decision making, problem solving, communication requirements, and stressors inherent to the role.
• Environmental & Organisational Factors
  Consideration of noise, temperature, workspace layout, shift patterns, and team dynamics.
• Task by Task Breakdown
  Detailed analysis of each task, including:
  • frequency
  • duration
  • force/load
  • equipment used
  • ergonomic considerations
  • associated risks
• Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies
  Identification of high risk tasks with evidence based recommendations for engineering, administrative, or behavioural controls.
• Role Suitability Criteria
  Clear, defensible criteria to support pre employment screening, fitness for work decisions, and return to work planning.
• Documentation for Compliance & Legal Defensibility
  Structured reporting aligned with workplace health and safety standards and industry best practice.

Ideal Use Cases
