HARM is an instrument for determining the risk of arm, neck or shoulder complaints when performing tasks that predominately involve the use of the hands or arms. The method helps you: gain an insight into what health risks the work may entail; identify the most important risk factors associated with the work; determine which intervention measures are likely to have the most benefit (that is to say, whether they reduce the risk of injury).

The National Physical Practice Guidelines are depicted in a series of illustrated posters which include ‘tips and tricks’. The Guidelines specify when a certain action, for example the transfer of a client or putting on support stockings, becomes too heavy and indicate which solution is required and which type of (lifting) device must be used.  The posters depict the best ways to transfer patients, put on support stockings and other frequently done tasks.
