摘要

Work is a source of income, a critical determinant of physical and mental well-being, and a social determinant of health, influencing various health outcomes through multiple pathways. Fitness for work is a critical consideration and involves determining whether a worker is fit to perform their job duties without posing a risk to themselves or others. As part of fitness for work evaluations, an individual’s work ability should be considered as encompassing their capacity to perform occupational tasks and considering the worker’s health status, functional status, skills, and work environment. Using a holistic and biopsychosocial approach ensures that the worker’s abilities, environment, and occupation are considered part of the fitness for work evaluation. Other considerations include the evaluation of risks and work accommodations.
