In the example task analysed above, the red dots have been used to indicate the level of risk on<br />
each of the five risk factors for the lower back and shoulders. The blue dots indicate the risk<br />
of musculoskeletal injury to the wrists. By joining these dots the risk profile of each body part<br />
assessed can be seen clearly.<br />
All dots within the shaded green section are factors that require the adoption of new control<br />
strategies to lower risk. In this example, control measures should particularly focus on:<br />
• the duration of the task<br />
• the force and posture associated with the back and shoulders<br />
• the repetitive actions of the wrist.<br />
The PErforM risk assessment tool can also be used after the controls are implemented to<br />
determine if the level of risk has been decreased for the relevant risk factors and if the new<br />
control measures have been effective.<br />
<br />
Recommendations for controls should be recorded in the final section of Worksheet 2. Both<br />
design and administrative controls should be considered.
