Explore a metric to place emphasis on ergonomic risk reduction rather than the commonly focused lagging indicator — incidence rate. Through a solid year of data gathering, Cummins has been able to correlate the risk reduction metric to fewer ergonomic incidents and a reduction in its overall ergonomic incidence rate. You’ll examine the steps that were required leading up to the deployment of this reduction indicator, the target-setting methods used and what worked best, along with how this indicator has been and will continue to be sustained.
