Real World Experience In Fitness-For-Duty Testing

This paper considers experience gained from conducting fitness-for-duty testing in the work place, and reviews results obtained with a specific psychomotor task. Performance testing can provide a means for assessing worker fitness-for-duty prior to their admittance to safety critical job functions, but the testing must be reliable and efficient. This paper will discuss the balance between efficacy and efficiency and provide example data from a test that is currently employed in the work place.
