Accommodation & engineering plans: We believe in reasonable accommodation for all workers. At JSS we know how to make accommodation a  cost effective return on investment.   

Traditional Assumption: Accommodation is only for qualified disabled individuals who have physical or mental disabilities like walking, hearing, or seeing.  Additionally, most disabled people present a safety risk or create undue hardship.

Job Smart Assumption: Individuals in the American workforce are aging, injured, diseased, and disabled. All employees are aging, usually have sustained some injury in their lives, and may have a disease and or a disability. Accommodation for all employees makes sense given the statistics. The average age of the American worker is 40 years old. This means that just to support changes in eyesight, to enhance visual acuity, accommodations should be made to support individual’s needs for lighting on their work tasks.  With most people over 40 wearing corrective lenses (bifocal or trifocal) and 70 percent of them using computers the increase in the reports of neck strain are not surprising. Accommodations to computer monitor such, as adjusting their height on the work surface is becoming a standard ergonomic intervention.

Job Smart Strategy : A 45 factor accommodation analysis tool is used to determine what interventions are necessary for organizations. This is done to support strategic plans and integrate legally with risk analyses. Job Smart’s goal is to write job descriptions and intervene on jobs consistently to promote productivity, safety , and quality. Job descriptions with safety competencies are a strategic management plan. These factors of intervention represent a cost benefit analysis that not only returned on investment but meet the requirements of American with Disabilities Act, OSHA, and ANSI/ISO/Q 9001-2000. The factors analyzed were:

Accessibility     Engineering     Maintenance  Software   Adaptability     Equipment                                Material Handling  Temperature  Air Quality   Finishes   Mat. Resource Conserve         Tools

Benchmarks    Furnishings  Noise  Trainings  Comfort    Housekeeping    Passages      Transport

Communication Image   Pick Patterns    Vendors Controls Instruments   Planning                                   

Cost Effectiveness      Interplant Transfer     Density of Space    Landscaping   Recycle

Design of Space           Legibility of Forms     Relocation   Division of Space   Lighting                    Safety   Waste    Energy    Maintenance Internal       Signage       Windows             

 Essential functions of the job can be accommodated for individuals using, in particular, biomechanical and sensory competencies validated by pre-employment screening. This supports the person productivity, safety, and quality using the methods and materials of their job, machines, equipment, tools, and instruments in their work areas.
