DataFit: Muscle Strength Assessments for the Construction & Utilities Market

Employees in the construction and utilities sectors are often asked to complete a wide range of tasks that require both physical resilience and adaptability. DataFit partners with businesses to build healthier, more sustainable workforces that are physically capable of meeting the industry's unique demands and helping you achieve your organizational goals.

CONSTRUCTION & UTILITIES-SPECIFIC
CHALLENGES

Construction and utilities are some of the hardest, most dangerous industries for workers. DataFit partners with these businesses by helping them build a healthier workforce and match employees with jobs where there is less likelihood of injury from the following risk factors:

  • High Physical Demands: Construction and utilities roles often require regular strenuous physical labor over long periods of time.

  • Potential for Falls: Working at heights is frequently required, increasing the risk of serious injuries from falls.

  • Heavy Lifting: Tasks often involve lifting and transporting heavy objects, leading to extra wear and tear that can cause musculoskeletal issues.

  • Varied Environmental Conditions: Work may take place in extreme heat, cold, or other challenging environments that create even more health concerns.
