Summary
In short
- A rotation effectiveness review is a review used in KnowErgo that reviews whether rotation has reduced discomfort and MSD reports in an area. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.9.1 and forms part of the Ergonomics and MSD Prevention programme.
- Run yearly. Carried out by ergonomics with the supervisor.
- The template holds 39 fields across 5 sections.
- Scoring is improvement rating, where high is good.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Rotation Plan, MSD reports.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form RER-2026-000
- You are running the Ergonomics and MSD Prevention programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links rotation plan, msd reports
Not for
- Job Rotation Plan, which sets out how workers move between tasks during a shift to vary the physical demand.
- Rotation Compliance Check, which checks whether the rotation plan is actually being followed on shift.
- Anything outside KnowErgo, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the rotation effectiveness review library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowErgo — ergonomics. Task assessment, video posture analysis, rotation and workstation redesign.
