The aims of the Assessment of Repetitive Tasks (ART) project were:
(1) To develop the tool and associated training material to the point where it is sufficiently credible and useable to be disseminated to Inspectors to pilot in an inspection campaign.
(2) To confirm that the tool is capable of providing reasonably reliable, accurate and meaningful results when used by Inspectors.
This report outlines the work on the tool, from its conceptualisation and early development, through user testing, refinement, benchmarking and initial expert consultation, up to its pilot release to a selection of HSE and Local Authority (LA) Inspectors during an inspection campaign.
