We present a method for incorporating business analysis into comprehensive health and safety consultations using as an example a plant with an elevated incidence of cumulative trauma disorders. Business information, including product and management history, short- and long-term corporate goals, functional analysis, profit history, organizational structure with respect to health and safety, and personnel and labor-management relationships are evaluated simultaneously with traditional ergonomic factors. The additional business data allow consultants to identify the full scope of etiologies and make practical, credible recommendations that are more likely to be adopted by management and labor. We propose that techniques of "business analysis" be routinely incorporated into occupational health and safety consultations. However, because collection and interpretation of these data require business skills outside the occupational safety and health expert's usual repertoire, the consulting team must include participants with business expertise. We have found that occupational health medical personnel with an understanding of business analysis concepts can be very effective advocates for changes in health and safety practices. We strongly recommend incorporating methods of business analysis into the occupational health and safety curriculum.
我们介绍一种将业务分析纳入全面健康与安全咨询的方法，以一个累积性创伤疾病发病率较高的工厂为例。业务信息，包括产品和管理历史、短期和长期企业目标、功能分析、利润历史、与健康和安全相关的组织结构以及人员与劳资管理关系，与传统的人体工程学因素同时进行评估。额外的业务数据使顾问能够确定病因的全貌，并提出切实可行、可信的建议，而这些建议更有可能被管理层和劳工采纳。我们建议将“业务分析”技术常规性地纳入职业健康与安全咨询中。然而，由于收集和解释这些数据需要职业安全与健康专家通常所不具备的业务技能，咨询团队必须包括具有业务专长的参与者。我们发现，理解业务分析概念的职业健康医疗人员可以成为健康与安全实践变革的非常有效的倡导者。我们强烈建议将业务分析方法纳入职业健康与安全课程。
