● When operators switch tasks, what procedures could be
developed to reduce negative transfer (habit interference)?
● If compliance with safe work practices goes unrewarded,
how could a reward system be developed to ensure that
compliance is reinforced?
● If a task is repetitive, monotonous or boring, how could it be
made more interesting? How could "time on task" be
changed to reduce vigilance decrements or mental lapses
in attention?
● Could operators be rotated off the tasks, checked for errors
or monitored more closely?
● Could the pacing or ordering of a particular task be
modified to reduce opportunities for error?

● How could a task be modified to reduce the demands on
the operator’s physical or perceptual limitations?
● How could the task be redesigned so that its requirements
are within reasonable bounds/limits of all persons
performing the job (e.g., force, speed, precision
requirements)?
● Are the various tasks that are performed appropriately
grouped into jobs? How could similar tasks be more
effectively grouped/ assigned to operators so that they are
performed by operators with the same skills?
