Assess
Risk

Conducting an ergonomic assessment is a foundational element of the ergonomics process. Your ergonomic improvement efforts will never get off the ground without being able to effectively assess jobs in your workplace for musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factors.

 

Systematically conducting ergonomic risk assessments gives you a clear view of the risk present in your workplace. Only with a clear understanding of the risk can you effectively communicate, prioritize, and implement workplace improvements. In the Assessing Risk module of this course, you will learn:

  • the different levels of ergonomic assessment tools and when to use each
  • how to conduct a subjective assessment using the ErgoPlus quick screen

  • how to use the Rapid Entire Body Assessment Tool
