Summary
In short
- A worker ergonomic suggestion record is a record used in KnowErgo that captures an idea from the person doing the job about how to make it physically easier. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.5.4 and forms part of the Ergonomics and MSD Prevention programme.
- Raised at any time. Completed in a minute.
- The template holds 37 fields across 3 sections.
- Scoring is suggestions implemented, 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 Task assessment, Committee.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record 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 record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form ESU-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 task assessment, committee
Not for
- Participatory Ergonomics Workshop Record, which records a structured workshop where a work team redesigns their own task with facilitation.
- 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 worker ergonomic suggestion record 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.
