Assessment of work-related musculoskeletal disorder

From the informative website of the Brtitish HSE, aimed at the food and drink manufacture, but also useable in other work situations in my opinion.

Work related musculoskeletal disorders, usually upper limb, neck and back problems – are a significant problem in food and drink manufacture. A Quick Exposure Check (QEC) is a practical tool for individual physical work activities to be assessed in collaboration with the worker. It has been designed to be quick (3 pages), easy to use and does not require extensive training before use.

More detailed guidance on work related upper limb disorders (WRULDs) can be found in HSE publication:
