Task Analysis

A Task Analysis is a comprehensive breakdown of the different activities that are required to complete a task.

Task Analysis is usually performed as part of a job analysis, which involves identifying all of the major functions of a job within a specific department or area.

About Task Analysis

A Task Analysis will document:

  • A detailed task description
  • The steps required to complete a task
  • The physical and postural requirements
  • Task frequency and duration
  • Task details, including shift time and cycle times
  • Environmental observations
  • PPE and equipment list
  • Image gallery for visual reference

Once completed, a Task Analysis Report is generated and an overall demand rating is assigned to the task.

How does Task Analysis benefit your business?

  • Identify high risk areas, and understand where a more detailed Risk Assessment is required
  • Assist with developing a training and induction strategy
  • Assist with pre-employment screening.
  • Inform induction and training programs.
  • Create a more comprehensive approach to RTW, including identifying alternative duties and informing rehabilitation programs.
  • Minimise the risk of injury by identifying tasks with a high physical demand

When do you need it?

Most companies are required to have this type of documentation in place for the hiring and training of their staff.

It allows them to ensure the worker knows the demands of the job and has been provided with the appropriate training to carry it out in a safe and effective manner.

Task Analysis also forms an important part of the return to work process. It helps employers to identify safer duties, and allows health practitioners to make informed decisions about worker rehabilitation programs.
