Guide for videotaping and gathering data on jobs for analysis for risks of musculoskeletal disorders

Prior to entering the work area, it is advisable to create job title information slates or visual starters to introduce each job to be taped. This includes making a job title information slate for the job immediately before the job of interest and one for the job immediately after. With a dark marker in very large print (computer printing in large print also works very well) write the company, date, location, job name or title, shift, and any other pertinent information desired (see Figure 30.2). It is important that the job title information slate contain all of the pertinent information and be easily readable in the video.
