EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Identify a number of hazardous manual tasks for your industry sector, that being more than three (3). Refer to Sara’s lecture and the fact that ‘manual handling’ is not a risk. It is healthy to undertake physical work. What you need to identify is those tasks where there are ergonomic risk factors that then make a manual handling task, hazardous. Think about the tasks Sara highlighted this week, like laying the tape on the road, it is specific, it is an actual task, not a generic risk like ‘slip trip falls’.

  1. Of that list, select three (3) and support why those three, using research to support why you selected them. you may consider that perhaps they are significant for the industry (note there may then already be current effective risk controls in place and you’ll need to identify ways to explore them, which may pose a challenge); they are not currently addressed, or their frequency is of a concern or another valid ground.
  2. Using the three domains of ergonomics, unpack why the manual tasks are hazardous.
  3. Using the three domains of ergonomcis to explore risk controls that influence a reduction in the hazards.
  4. Consider whether you can design a solution and how to implement it, whether that is inventing a device (plant) or a system, or other means that you can support in your evaluation on why it reduces the hazardous manual task.

identify ergonomic/human factors risks, including those that would be

categorised as Hazardous Manual Tasks involving ergonomic/human factor considerations. Of

these, select three ergonomic risk factors and hazards in your opinion that warrant analysing

for your sector and address the following:

Provide solutions and recommendations to the following workplace and industry

challenges

1) Analyse literature and the work system, to identify ergonomic/human factor risks

relevant to your selected sector, evidencing why.

Identify appropriate methods to measure, and where possible, provide measurements,

including your own task analysis evaluations.

3) Assess the ergonomic/ human factor conditions using appropriate tools, and

4) Design solutions using ergonomic/human factor methods, including general, task and

systems design.

You may wish to have regard to physical, cognitive (including psychosocial) and organisational

ergonomics. You may also select to explore the construct of the workforce for an

ergonomic/human factor contributing factor (such as aging, disabled workers, cultural

diversities, long term employees, youth transiting the sector temporarily, and/or new

employees with pre-existing ergonomic/chronic health related health issues), specific work

areas or job roles, emerging technology and trends as well as customers. You may also wish to

explore ‘risk interaction’ (MSD risk interaction with other hazards/risks, for example chemical

exposure) relevant for your industry sector.
