  • Ergonomics processes were stale and there was little motivation from EHS team or end users to engage in solutions
  • EHS team felt overwhelmed with idea of risk scoring hundreds of tasks without a plan for solutions

An ergonomics kaizen event was planned to drive employee engagement and quick fix solutions for known high risk tasks.

Progress
