What is Jobs Demand Analysis?
Job demand analysis or Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) is a report conducted to quantify and evaluate the physical demands required for a given task. It evaluates both essential and non-essential aspects of a job and ensures that it is compliant with the law. This analysis plays a vital role in Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) as well.
