Jobs meeting the "Action Trigger" requirements

If the employer determines that the job meets the requirements of the Action Trigger then the standard allows for a “Quick Fix” intervention. The employer has 90 days to improve the ergonomic design of the workplace for a job where only 1 MSD is being reported, and where there have only been 2 or less MSDs during the previous 18 months.
For jobs where the MSD problem cannot be remedied within 90 days, where more than 1 MSD is currently being reported or where there is a history of more than 2 MSDs during the past 18 months, the employer is required to implement a full Ergonomics Program for that job and other similar jobs.
