Use cases

Ergonomics assessments

Identify and control musculoskeletal hazards before they become injuries.

QEHS ergonomics module supports RULA, REBA, and manual-handling assessments. Assessors work through a structured questionnaire, capture photos, and score risk; control recommendations are linked to corrective actions.

The problem

  • Ergonomic assessments are performed rarely and findings are not tracked to closure
  • No consistent methodology — different assessors produce incomparable results
  • Musculoskeletal injuries are the leading cause of lost time but ergonomic data is unavailable

How it works

A step-by-step walkthrough of this use case in QEHS.

  1. Select the assessment type

    Choose RULA, REBA, manual handling, or a custom ergonomics checklist for the task being assessed.

  2. Capture the task

    Assessor photographs the worker performing the task; body angles and posture details are recorded in the form.

  3. Score the risk

    The assessment calculates a RULA/REBA score; the system highlights high-risk body regions.

  4. Recommend controls

    Controls from the hierarchy (engineering, admin, PPE) are documented; a corrective action is created for each item.

  5. Re-assess after controls

    A follow-up assessment confirms that control measures reduced the ergonomic risk to an acceptable level.
