SYNOPSIS

This presentation introduces TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) as a systematic methodology for fostering innovation and problem-solving. TRIZ offers structured tools to address challenges by identifying patterns of inventive solutions. The session begins with an overview of TRIZ principles and its problem-solving framework. It then explores how TRIZ can be effectively applied in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and safety engineering to mitigate risks, enhance workplace safety, and develop proactive hazard control measures. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain insights into leveraging TRIZ for continuous safety improvements and innovative OSH solutions.
