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.

This checklist includes questions on working postures of the back and neck, arms and hands, legs during sitting and standing tasks. It also gives examples of the type of action at a technical, organisational and individual level that can be put in place to prevent or reduce the risks caused by...

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...

The initiative Risk assessment toolkit for non-EU nationals was launched in 2009 by the Brescia health authority in collaboration with social partners to help workplaces incorporate OSH risks related to non-EU migrant workers into their risk assessment process and to promote OSH-related activities...
