| Abstract |
This study investigated the use of expert systems to address work at height issues, workplace transport, slips and trips, and noise and vibration, by occupational safety and health (OSH) regulators and organizations. It was carried out by means of a literature survey and a consultation of 46 key OSH organizations. The report presents a definition of expert systems and discusses domains where these systems have been used. Six expert systems were explored further during consultations with key organizations, and presented as case studies. The study concluded that limited information was available on OSH-related expert system applications, and that no robust evaluation evidence existed. The recommendations suggest how HSE could proceed to develop its own expert system. |
