Choose which jobs to assess first

A simple way to pick the first tasks for a video assessment when you cannot assess everything on day one.

3 min read
Most teams only ever assessed a sample of jobs because scoring by hand took hours. KnowErgo lets you assess every job, but it still helps to start where the risk is.
1

Start with reported discomfort

Tasks linked to strain reports, early symptom flags or past claims come first. If KnowHealth is in use, its symptom flags can trigger a video assessment of the job involved.

2

Add the obvious lifting and reaching jobs

Repetitive lifting, work above shoulder height, long reaches into bins and awkward carries are the usual sources of musculoskeletal strain. Film one cycle of each.

3

Cover each station over time

Once the high-risk list is done, work through the remaining stations shift by shift. Because scoring takes minutes, a full site can be covered without a consultant visit.

4

Re-assess after any change

A new fixture, a raised bench or a new product size changes the risk. Film the task again so the score stays current and the before-and-after is on record.
