Job Task Analysis
Clarity, Compliance, and Confidence in Every Role
A well-executed Job Task Analysis (JTA) is more than just paperwork—it’s a powerful tool for improving safety, supporting injured workers, and ensuring the right person is placed in the right role. At Intuitworks, our experienced allied health professionals conduct detailed, objective JTAs to identify the physical, cognitive, and environmental demands of specific job roles.
These assessments are particularly valuable in return-to-work planning, injury prevention, and organisational risk management. Whether you’re supporting an employee’s recovery or developing robust position descriptions, we deliver clear, evidence-based reports tailored to your workforce needs.
What’s Involved in a Job Task Analysis
Our process begins with a comprehensive review of the role, including direct observation of key tasks and consultation with employees and supervisors. We assess postural demands, manual handling tasks, cognitive load, environmental factors, and the equipment required to perform the role safely.
Each JTA includes:
A classification and clear definition of the position
A general overview of the role’s purpose and core tasks
Detailed physical demands broken down by activity
Required personal protective equipment (PPE)
The working environment (indoor/outdoor, confined space, etc.)
Cognitive and psychological demands
Photographic illustrations to highlight postural requirements and risks

When and Why to Use a Job Task Analysis
JTAs are essential for organisations that want to proactively manage injury risk or support the safe return of a recovering employee. They also play a vital role in creating accurate position descriptions, reviewing duties, or planning pre-employment and fitness-for-work assessments.
Employers and insurers rely on our Job Task Analyses to:
Match injured workers with suitable duties
Identify tasks that may contribute to risk or fatigue
Guide rehabilitation planning and safe return-to-work timelines
Inform the development of Safe Work Method Statements
Enhance job design and ergonomic compliance
