This paper provides a decision-making model for workplace ergonomics problem-solving to help clarify the situations in which simple, non-quantitative approaches are suitable, in contrast to those conditions where more formal, quantitative methods are needed. The perspective is that of an individual or workplace team focused on a specific problem. The value of this model is that it: (1) avoids unnecessary activities, in particular quantitative assessments when not needed; (2) emphasizes qualitative problem-solving methods; (3) enables non-technical personnel to be involved; and (4) helps expand the use of ergonomics toward reducing production barriers. The context is “continual improvement” rather than “compliance.” Students may profit by learning practical steps useful in the workplace. Practitioners may benefit from reviewing the framework (and indeed improving it). Researchers might gain a better appreciation of simple methods used in the workplace and perhaps test certain premises of the model more rigorously.
