Duties Register

A duties register is an invaluable tool in any medium to large organisation. 

Desk Dynamics can conduct a comprehensive task analysis of your employee’s duties, and then provide a concise report, which can be tailored to your organisation’s needs.  A Duties Register will ensure a uniform, consistent approach is achieved in relation to injury management and risk reduction.

 

The Duties Register report consists of the following:

      Comprehensive description of duties.

      Photographs of specific tasks.

      The physical requirements of the tasks, including lifting requirements,              postural requirements, planes of movement.

      Frequency of the tasks, including frequency of specific tasks within a job,

         and work strength required. (Using Definitions from US Dept of Labor,

         Handbook for Analysing Jobs – Definition of Strength and Factors).

      Safer alternatives to current approaches to tasks, if appropriate.

 

The Duties Register can have the following applications:

      A company-wide applicable register of duties which can all staff can use.

      Injury Prevention- identification of risk areas ensures a proactive and cost

          saving approach to minimise the incidence of employee injuries.

      Injury Management- employees can use the Duties Register to take to their

          Nominated Treating Doctor as a description of suitable duties.

      Proactive Risk Management Approach- a thorough analysis of duties can

          identify potential risk areas which can then be addressed.

      Cost-effective injury management- a thorough task analysis negates

          repetitive workplace assessments for each worker following an injury.

      Improved communication between employees and their managers.
