Can the EPIC Lift Capacity be used for preplacement screening?
Yes. Use a job analysis to determine the manual material handling job demands, then use the sub-tests of the EPIC Lift Capacity that are content-valid for that job, following the guidelines in the EPIC Lift Capacity Evaluation Manual. You also need to perform a validation study, which requires more explanation than I can provide here. Feel free to contact me at epiclift@aol.com for further information on this topic.
