IPS Projects to Set a Baseline and Jumpstart your EHS, HR, and Operational Goals

Our Methodology

  • Our Job Analysts are movement science experts with academic backgrounds in kinesiology, exercise science, ergonomics, or occupational health. Every Job Analyst is a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist (CEAS III) trained in Department of Labor Methodology to translate complex job demands into clear, defensible documentation. The net result is smarter hiring, safer work practices, and more effective return-to-work decisions.

    Our Job Analysts are not clipboard observers—they’re hands-on professionals who understand how to assess real work in real environments. They bring clarity to job expectations, helping clients align with ADA, EEOC, NIOSH, OSHA, and ISO standards.

    GSC Job Analysts are trusted by some of the nation’s largest manufacturers to deliver data that protects workers, improves processes, and strengthens bottom-line performance.

  • GSC On-Site Services uses U.S. Department of Labor methodology as the foundation for all project-based services. This ensures that every analysis is:

    • Legally defensible

    • Consistent with ADA and EEOC guidelines

    Specifically, for services like the Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) Suite, GSC’s methodology captures essential job demands—including force, weight, posture, frequency, and reach—with precision. These standards also guide the development of compliant Pre- Employment Post-Offer Agility Testing, structured Return-to-Work (RTW) Matrices, and targeted ergonomic interventions.

    The result? Data that supports smarter hiring, safer job matching, and better communication with treating providers.

  • We work nationwide in all types of manufacturing plants, mine sites, warehouses, distribution centers, and more—wherever your workforce needs us most.

  • You should bring GSC On-Site Services to your plant for the Projects Bundle when:

    You’re facing:

    • Inconsistent or outdated job data for hiring or return-to-work

    • Increased lost-time or restricted-duty cases

    • Difficulty communicating physical job demands to treating providers

    • Compliance concerns around ADA, EEOC, or Pre-Employment Post-Offer Agility testing

    You’re preparing for:

    • New hires or high turnover and want job-aligned testing

    • Implementing or updating a Return-to-Work (RTW) program

    • An ergonomic improvement initiative or safety culture push

    • A major audit or internal review

    • Operational scaling and need defensible job documentation

    Bringing GSC in early—lets you take a proactive, data-backed approach to protect your people, reduce costs, and streamline HR, safety, and operations.

  • GSC On-Site Services stands out because we deliver practical, defensible solutions—not just generic safety advice.

    • We follow U.S. Department of Labor standards for ADA/EEOC-compliant job data.

    • Our tools support HR, Safety, and Operations with clear, actionable reports.

    • Every deliverable is built for real use—from hiring to return-to-work.

    • We focus on measurable results like fewer injuries and faster recovery.

    • Our standardized language keeps everyone aligned.

    We’re more than a vendor—we’re a partner in protecting your workforce and improving plant performance.

  • GSC’s Projects Bundle is designed to work for sites of any size—even small operations.

    You only need 10 job titles to get started. That’s it.

    It’s a powerful solution that fits lean teams and growing operations alike.

  • GSC’s Projects Bundle is designed to give you a strong, defensible baseline—built by experts using proven standards—so you’re not starting from scratch. It lays the foundation you can build on across hiring, return-to-work, ergonomics, and injury prevention.

    We make it easier, faster, and more effective—so you can focus on running your plant, not reinventing the process.

"The PDA assessments provided by GSC are an exceptional tool that will support our ergonomic manual material movement initiative and return-to-work programs. Originally developed to baseline job demands for our agility testing program, they have proven to be invaluable across multiple safety and workforce initiatives."
