Ergonomic risk assessment

Why choose an ergonomic risk assessment?

• An objective assessment of ergonomic risks
• Application of recognised methods
• Clear reporting on priority improvements
• Input from experienced ergonomists

Not every type of movement at work is good for the body. Frequent heavy lifting, repetitive actions and poor postures carry risks. That’s why it’s important to identify potential ergonomic bottlenecks in your organisation. This way, you can make every job healthier  and avoid work that places an excessive strain on your body or is not physically demanding enough. 

The ergonomic risk assessment helps you do this. 

What is an ergonomic risk assessment? 

Our ergonomic risk assessment analyses physical demands and potential physical strain at work. You’ll receive a clear overview of the risks, quickwins, and concrete action priorities. 

How does Mensura help in practice? 

With Mensura, you can count on a thorough and systematic approach. We start with a workplace visit during which we collect information and evaluate workstations and tasks. This involves using visual equipment, talking to employees and consulting with managers. 

We select the most suitable method for the risk assessment – ranging from screenings to in-depth measurements: 

• The DEPARIS method (SOBANE strategy) 

• Standardised methods such as KIM, RULA or NIOSH 

• Recognised standards (ISO, EN, NBN) 

If necessary, we use specialised measurements such as 3D posture and movement analysis, heart rate measurements, EMG, dynamometry or Snook tables. 

You will receive a clear report setting out the results and recommendations for improvement. 

If you want a more in-depth analysis with concrete, specially designed solutions, we can initiate a follow-up process with ergonomic advice. We take a joint approach that’s multidisciplinary and involves your own team. 

We can summarise the approach for you in a standard quote or a customised proposal.
