InterventionQ14. Was the intervention process described? (choose only one answer)Inadequate description of the intervention strategy makes it impossible to reproducethe intervention in another population. The setting of the intervention, (i.e., where itwas carried out) what was changed and how, are important aspects to document.a) YesAll or most aspects of the intervention are clearly described.b) UnclearThere is not enough information provided, the intervention process is not clearlydescribed.c) NoThe intervention process is not described.Q15. What was the intervention type? (check all that apply)a) Engineering SolutionAn intervention with a goal of physically eliminating the hazard through redesign,automation or other means.b) Administrative TechniqueAdministrative methods include job rotation, training, adjustment, exercise orstretching. These techniques do not eliminate the hazards; they function to reduce thetime or exposure to the hazards.c) Personal Protective EquipmentInterventions that provide employees with equipment such as mechanical lifts, wristguards, eye glasses, foot stools, etc. These interventions rely on the correct use of theequipment by the employees as the hazards have not been reduced or mitigated.d) Othere) NoneIntensity of the InterventionQ16. Was the participation in the intervention documented?Examining the intensity with which the intervention is implemented within theorganization is an important part of an evaluation, which has not been extensivelydocumented in the literature. In the case of a participatory ergonomics program, oneway the intensity of an intervention can be assessed is by looking at the extent towhich the workplace parties actually participate in the intervention process. We arenot valuing the extent of the participation, rather that the researchers document it.a) Yesb) Unclearc) No70 Institute for Work & Health
