Ergonomics & Workplace Risk Assessment
Turn Ergonomic Observations into Structured Prevention
Organize ergonomic assessment information, job demands and workplace risk factors, then connect findings with recommendations, follow-up and relevant workforce health context.
Structured observation
From a walk-through to a documented risk assessment.
Ergonomic assessment often starts with observation: watching a task, noting posture, force, repetition, duration and the working environment. Recognized methods, such as REBA, RULA and the NIOSH lifting equation, give these observations a consistent structure and a score that helps prioritize action.
Occusmarta is being developed to keep these observations organized: the job and task, the method used, the risk factors observed, the score and the recommendations, with follow-up tracked until the change is made. Because the same platform holds occupational health information, the assessment can be viewed alongside musculoskeletal complaints for the same job group.
Risk factor capture
Document posture, force, repetition, duration and environment in a structured way.
Method support
Organize assessment methods and scores so results are consistent between assessors.
Recommendations
Propose and prioritize changes, from task redesign to equipment and training.
Follow-up tracking
Assign owners and dates and verify that changes were made.
Reassessment
Schedule review after changes to confirm risk has fallen.
Linking to health
Ergonomics and health data answer different questions.
An ergonomic score describes the task. Health data describes people. When both point in the same direction, for example a high-risk task and repeated musculoskeletal complaints from the same team, the case for intervention is stronger. When they disagree, it prompts a closer look at the assessment or at the data.
AI-assisted features support organization and review of the information. Assessments, interpretation and decisions remain professional responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ergonomic risk assessment?
A structured evaluation of how a task is performed, looking at posture, force, repetition, duration and environment to identify risk of musculoskeletal injury.
Which methods are used in ergonomic assessment?
Common methods include REBA, RULA and the NIOSH lifting equation. The right choice depends on the task, and assessors should be trained in the method used.
Can it track recommendations?
Yes, in design: each recommendation has an owner, a priority and a date, and is followed until it is implemented and verified.
Why link ergonomics to health records?
Comparing task risk with musculoskeletal complaints for the same job group helps prioritize action and check whether changes work.
Does the software score tasks automatically?
It organizes assessments and scores. Applying a method and interpreting results remain the responsibility of the trained assessor.
