Built for Perth's Hardest-Working Industries
From underground mining to aged care, our screening is tailored to the specific demands of your industry and workforce, rather than taking a one size fits all approach.
Mining
FIFO and remote roles carry elevated physical demands and limited access to early intervention. Our Comprehensive tier is built for exactly this environment.
Construction
Musculoskeletal risk is high on site and claims come quickly. Screen for physical capacity before the first shift, not after the first incident.
Manufacturing
Repetitive task roles mask cumulative injury risk. Pre-employment assessment identifies vulnerabilities before they become compensation events.
Aged Care
Manual handling injuries are the leading compensation claim in care settings. Screen for the physical capacity to do the role safely before day one.
Engineering
Technical roles often involve confined spaces, heights, or sustained physical exertion. Our assessments are structured around your specific role requirements.

Workplace Injury Data at a Glance
Musculoskeletal injuries make up a large proportion of workplace injuries in Australia, with manual handling and body stressing among the key contributors. Pre-employment screening can help identify these risks early, before they result in workplace injuries or claims.
53.4%
of all workplace injuries are musculoskeletal soft-tissue
27%
are caused by manual handling or body stressing combined
How injuries happen
Manual handling and body stressing account for more than a quarter of workplace injuries, making functional assessments an important tool for identifying these risks before they lead to injury.
What kind of injuries occur
More than half of all workplace injuries are musculoskeletal soft-tissue — the exact category Praventus functional capacity and area-specific assessments are designed to help prevent.
Where on the body
Hands, wrists and lower backs bear the brunt of workplace injuries — classic manual handling injury zones. Area-specific assessments screen for vulnerabilities in exactly these regions.
Screen for the injuries that actually happen
Manual handling and physically demanding work are common causes of musculoskeletal injuries, particularly to the back, knees and upper limbs. Pre-employment medicals can help identify potential risks early and support safer hiring decisions.
