Assignment Prompt & Instructions
For their newsletter covering hazard analysis and risk reduction techniques, as well as the importance of management commitment and building a sound safety culture. Include the following: The appropriate uses of a preliminary hazard analysis.
The process to perform a risk assessment of an ergonomic hazard at a workplace.
Use an example of an ergonomic hazard in your discussion based on the provided scenario.
Determine which regulations/standards/guidelines apply to ergonomic hazards at a workplace.
Recommend abatement strategies to reduce the risks associated with the identified ergonomic hazard.
Discuss how management can promote safety by example. Explain the process of creating a participative safety culture. Use the scenario below.
Scenario: One ergonomic hazard you could consider if you have not come up with one on your own is one with which most people are somewhat familiar: airline baggage handling. Moving heavy baggage of all different shapes and sizes around all day can take a real toll on their rotator cuffs, often resulting in surgery. Removing them from the conveyor, placing them on carts, then onto the loading conveyor, and into the cargo hold of the plane requires all sorts of awkward shoulder motions while under load. This is a significant hazard that has been well-documented in the industry.
