Better Root Cause Analysis Yields Effective Ergonomics Controls

Safety and quality management systems have demonstrated that root cause analysis is a necessary precursor to identifying effective ergonomics solutions. There are several approaches an ergonomics team can use to help determine the actionable data to highlight the causes, such as:

• Gathering operator insights on typical and atypical work processes
• Identifying the most impactful risk factors in a job
• Linking risk factor exposure to specific elements within the job
• Applying root cause analysis tools

During this 60-minute webinar, Principal Solutions Strategist Rick Barker, CPE, CSP, provided examples of industrial settings to demonstrate these approaches. Practical tips that ergonomics teams can use and common traps to avoid were also discussed.

As a result of this session, participants learned how to:

• prioritize risk factor exposures
• identify at least three tools that can be used for conducting root cause analysis and communicating the results
• define causes of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and associated risks more clearly
• leverage internal continuous improvement resources for ergonomics projects more effectively
