SEVEN: EFFECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
To develop effective
recommendations, perform the following key steps
- Write the problem statement
- Describe the history of the
problem.
- State the solution options that
would correct the problem?
- Describe the consequences
as a cost vs benefit analysis. (continued)
Describe the risk to the employer
if the problem is not solved.
Risk is a function of exposure,
probability, and severity. The higher the risk, the stronger your argument.
Here's the formula for you left-brainers ;-)
R = E
x P x S
- Exposure
describes how often the employee is placed in the physical or environmental
danger zone (continuous, frequently, occasionally, rarely).
- Probability
describes how likely exposure to a danger zone will result in an injury
(unlikely, likely, highly likely).
- Severity
describes how serious the injury or illness might be (minor, major, fatality).
