Injury Risk Metrics in Post-Offer Testing
How Active Energy LLC Translates Physical Performance into Actionable Risk Ratings
1. What Are Injury Risk Metrics?
Injury risk metrics are objective, data-driven scores derived from validated functional tests that predict a candidate’s likelihood of sustaining a work-related injury. They combine biomechanical performance, movement quality, and physiological red flags into a single, employer-friendly rating.
2. The Active Energy Risk Rating System
Every candidate receives one of three standardized ratings:
| Risk Level | Score Range | Interpretation | Hiring Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOW | 26–30 / 30 | Full physical capability; no red flags | Proceed – Safe to hire |
| MODERATE | 22–25 / 30 | Functional but with one or more limitations | Conditional – May require accommodation or follow-up |
| HIGH | ≤22 / 30 | Significant weakness or pain response | Reconsider – High injury probability |
3. How the Score Is Calculated (Transparent Formula)
| Component | Weight | Scoring Method |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Functional Strength | 40% | % of job-specific load lifted (e.g., 75 lbs overhead = 8/10 pts) |
| 2. Movement Quality | 30% | Form breakdown, asymmetry, or compensation (0–2 per task) |
| 3. Pain/Red Flag Response | 20% | Pain ≥3/10 or guarding during movement = –1 pts |
| 4. Endurance/Recovery | 10% | Time under load or reps completed vs. recovery |
Final Score = Σ (Component Scores) → Converted to Low / Moderate / High
4. Real-World Example Report Snippet
Candidate: J. Ramirez – Warehouse Associate Test Date: 11/10/2025 Overall Score: 22 / 30 → MODERATE RISK
Metric Score Notes Overhead Lift (75 lbs) 8/10 Completed Squat Depth & Stability 6/10 Knee valgus, low back rounding Pain Response 5/10 Reported 4/10 low back pain on repetition Repetition Endurance 3/10 Fatigued after 8 reps (std: 12) Recommendation: Proceed with ergonomic training and 30-day re-check.
Bottom Line
Our injury risk metrics don’t just flag problems—they quantify them and give you a clear path forward. You’re not guessing who might get hurt. You’re knowing—and hiring with confidence.
