Tools for analysing the risk factors of MSDs

Access comprehensive ergonomic tools for in-depth analysis of the biomechanical risks associated with MSDs. Optimise prevention and improve working conditions thanks to precise and effective analyses.

Ergonomic analysis tools

Ergonomic analysis methods to prevent MSDs:

RULA method

The RULA quotation grid

The RULA grid is a method used to evaluate upper limb postures and highlight the risks associated with observed work cycles. The final RULA score ranges from 1 to 7.

REBA method

The REBA quotation grid

The REBA grid is a whole-body postural risk assessment method based on the same scoring principle as RULA. The final REBA score varies from 1 to 15.

NIOSH Equation

NIOSH equation

The NIOSH equation is an evaluation method for manual material handling tasks. The recomanded weight limit can be calculated from the workstation parameters, with the lifting index indicating the level of risk. 

BORG Scale

BORG effort perception scale

The Borg scale is a quantitative tool that subjectively assesses the level of effort during physical work.

La méthode OCRA

OCRA methode

The OCRA Method in ergonomics assesses and minimizes risks associated with repetitive tasks by analyzing factors like postureforce, and task duration, aiming to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.

Méthode EAWS

EAWS method

The EAWS method is an evaluation method that combines aspects of postureload handling and repetition. This method is used for proper organization and work planning.
