Program Planning Guide
Plan roles, response paths, and privacy before collecting data
A useful ergonomics process is clear about scope, ownership, escalation, consent, access, and retention.
Define scope
Separate education, workstation review, medical care, disability accommodation, safety reporting, and procurement.
Assign owners
Name who receives requests, who may evaluate them, and who can approve changes.
Minimize data
Collect only what is necessary for a documented purpose and avoid copying sensitive details across systems.
Review outcomes
Measure response quality and completion without exposing individual health information in broad reports.
