In November 2022, a group of Ontario corrugating industry experts met to determine the root causes of one of the top health and safety risks: pedestrians being struck by mobile equipment. An industry volunteer group of eight subject matter experts – four management and four worker representatives – met for a root cause analysis workshop facilitated by WSN. The provincial root cause analysis program is sector-specific and takes a scientific and focused approach to improving workplace health and safety.
The research resulted in this root cause analysis report and an infographic poster showing the top ten root causes of injuries from being struck by mobile equipment. Visit the forest products industry webpage for more health and safety research information.
