ERGONOMICS RISK ASSESSMENT

The Industrial Screening Tool allows the analyst to both score and prioritize potentially significant concerns across jobs.  Priorities are based upon the categorical rating of ten major body parts in terms of posture, motion and force.  Three sub-categories are defined for each rating– Low, Moderate and High.  Definitions for each are based primarily on select components of several peer-reviewed, published assessment tools.

Resultis of the Screening Tool allow the analyst to:
  • Prioritize across jobs
  • Identify the body parts of most concern
  • Identify the worst task(s) for a job so that it can be improved
