Ergoscore is a quick and easy tool for ergonomics risk analysis. It traces bottlenecks and provides an impetus for action. You calculate an Ergoscore for each task.
The ergonomics risk assessment with the Ergoscore always goes through four steps:
- Describe task
- Screen ergonomic risks
- Evaluate ergonomic risk factors
- Take measures
Ergoscore guides you through the ergonomic risk assessment with measures and an automatic report. The ergonomics risk analysis is best done participatively with the employees and hierarchy. They are the experts of the task.
Legislation
Codex VIII.1 General Provisions states that an ergonomics risk assessment consists of identifying ergonomic risks and assessing ergonomic risk factors. Ergoscore follows these steps. One starts by identifying the risks. For each risk, one then evaluates four ergonomic risk factors each time: time, intensity, posture and conditions.
A risk analysis is required for each new design or modification of the workstation, all workstations and in case of an occupational disease or reintegration. You can use Ergoscore in all these cases, from hiring to the reconstruction of a workplace accident, from preventive to reactive.
Based on the ergonomics risk analysis, one should include prevention measures in the Annual Action Plan (JAP) and Global Prevention Plan (GPP). The measures should also be reviewed annually.
