Phase 2: evaluate ergonomic risks/methods

• What are the specific ergonomic risks associated with our problem?

• What is contributing to each risk (what about the task/environment/tool causes the risk)?

• How are humans affected by these risks in this system?

• What methods will we use to assess risks?

• Why are these methods appropriate? Why are we using them to analyze the risks (vs. other methods)?

• What are specific procedures or guidelines we will need to follow?

• What data will we need for our analysis? How will we obtain these data?

• What scholarly references support our selection of methods?

• What other methods could we use to assess these risks?

• What results do we expect from each method? What do they mean?

• How will these results help us meet our project objectives?

• What scholarly references support our analysis of our results?
