Task Analysis – Know what the job requires to prevent injury in your workplace and save money
A task analysis is a valuable part of any comprehensive workplace injury prevention strategy.
Tanunda Physio & Health can provide these services to your business in the Barossa region.
What is a task analysis?
Task analysis is an assessment of a job and/or specific tasks within a job to objectively outline the physical requirements of the workers performing the task.
The exact method and detail can vary based on the intended use of the information.
Why do a functional analysis of a task?
A good quality task analysis by an Occupational Physiotherapist from Tanunda Physio & Health will help you to:
- identify and reduce injury risk factors of a task
- summarise job demands
- compare worker capabilities to task demands to make objective decisions about a workers ability to perform a specific task or job
- design job-specific functional assessments (link to page)
- develop targeted risk management activities
When to do a task analysis
- Initial equipment and task design so the users’ capabilities can be incorporated into the design.
- Identifying worker requirements to assist with job placement and return to work decisions.
- Designing job-specific functional assessments (link to page) to relate findings to the job demands of a worker
- Following workplace injury to confirm that the task is being done the way it was intended and identify areas to reduce future risk of incident.
- Changes in equipment or processes that have potential to alter the requirements of a task
- Development of training and procedures to ensure tasks are performed as intended to minimise risk of incident
