Read moreThe process starts with the identification and analysis of hazardous manual tasks specific to your Brisbane based work environment. Employ Health uses an evidence-based approach in understanding these risks and implementing appropriate control measures to mitigate or eliminate them.
A Manual Task Risk Assessment (ManTRA) is a specific tool designed to assess the risks of musculoskeletal disorders in manual tasks which can assist Brisbane based businesses. It combines the analysis of task duration and characteristics, facilitating accurate risk assessments and the formulation of tailored control measures.
Effective implementation of a ManTRA assessment involves:
Teams evaluate tasks considering factors like frequency, cycle time, force, speed, awkwardness, and vibration across four body regions. This collaborative analysis aligns with advisory standards, ensuring comprehensive risk assessments.
Based on the results, suitable risk control measures are recommended, catering specifically to the needs of your Brisbane based workplace.
In addition to ManTRA, your Brisbane based workplace can also use the PErforM tool (Participative Ergonomics for Manual Tasks). This tool underscores the importance of employee involvement in identifying and managing risks, enhancing the overall process.
Using ManTRA helps Brisbane businesses fulfil their WHS obligations, ensuring a well-rounded risk management process.
Participation in the ManTRA process fosters a deeper understanding of risk management specific to your Brisbane based sites working conditions, encouraging safe work practices.
By managing manual task risks effectively, the likelihood of musculoskeletal injuries is significantly reduced.
Adopting ManTRA and PErforM can strengthen the health and safety culture within your Brisbane workplace, reducing risks at all levels.
Implementation of ManTRA has been shown to notably reduce sprain and strain injury claims.
ManTRAs are necessary when manual handling hazards are identified in the workplace. This should include consultation with workers and safety representatives, and an analysis of local injury trends to identify high-risk tasks. If your Brisbane workplace falls under this category Employ Health can work with you onsite in Brisbane to develop the specific plan you need for your business.
Employ Health’s physiotherapists have a detailed understanding and experience working with Brisbane businesses. Our expertise in applying ManTRA and PErforM ensures a deep comprehension of local risk management challenges, in line with the Hierarchy of Controls and the Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks.
