This document provides content and methods of filling out a short procedure for the identification and quantification of the risk of biomechanical overload of the upper limbs using the OCRA checklist / methodology.

Brochure about prevention of work-related musculoskeletal overloads. The brochure contains both information on MSDs in general, as well as practical information in what companies and employees could do to prevent them .

This document presents the semi-quantitative risk assessment of biomechanical overload in activities involving repeated movements of the upper limbs using the Strain index method.

This short document provides information about how to implement the HAL / ACGIH TLV methodology to assess and quantify the risk related to biomechanical overload of upper limbs and the level of effort for a typical posture while performing short cycle tasks.

This short document summarizes the preventive measures or, if necessary, the redesign activities involving repeated movements of the upper limbs in non-ergonomic conditions.

The 60 risk sheets contain a description of the task, with an indication of any machinery/equipment in use, providing an estimate of the risk of biomechanical overload for the right and left upper limbs. The evaluation method applied is the OCRA Check-list. For each task, different work scenarios...

This booklet presents basic information about ergonomics: introduction, workplace environment, constrained postures, monotone demands, handling of loads, choice of work equipment, arrangement and dimensions of work places.
