Abstract [en]

Background:The RAMP package (Rose et al., 2018) consists of RAMP (RiskAssessment and Management tool for manual handling Proactively), a website (ramp.proj.kth.se) and a Professional Certificate Program consisting of three MOOCs (massive open online courses) on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and the RAMPuse. RAMP, developed for managing risks in manual handling work, was launched 2017and has been disseminated to over 70 countries. In October 2018 the “RAMP 2.0”project started to meet requests from industries to i) expand the tools application range,ii) include key performance indicators (KPIs), and iii) provide a database version of the‘RAMP 2.0’. Here the current state of the project is presented.Methods:The project, using a participative, iterative methodology, is carried out in sevensteps ranging from a needs analysis and specification of requirements on the new toolto development and dissemination of a “RAMP 2.0”. The project is led by KTH andcarried out in cooperation between researchers and practitioners at companies.Results:This far eight organisations from five industrial branches (Manufacturing,Food, Dental Care Occupational Safety & Health, and Technical Installation industries)participated in a needs analysis, resulting in:i) a wish-list with additionally 20 types of work tasks to be included in the RAMP 2.0,e.g. electricians cable stripping and dentists’ drilling work,ii)suggestions of 16 KPIs, e.g. trends of Number of high risks, compared to Numberof low risks over several years andiii)15 characteristics considered important in the database-design and user interface,e.g. security and flexibility in results presentation.Conclusion: In conclusion, requirements on the RAMP 2.0 have been identified and willbe used as a basis in the development process.References:Rose, LM, Eklund, J & Nord Nilsson, L (2018) RAMP - A ComprehensiveMSD Risk Management Tool.
