Employ Health’s evidence-based alongside your internal team will identify these risks and implement effective control measures to mitigate or eliminate them.
A Manual Task Risk Assessment (ManTRA) is a customised system developed to assess musculoskeletal risk factors in manual tasks. Employ Health’s Melbourne based team partner with workplaces to develop this with you onsite.. Your ManTRA will carefully evaluate task duration and characteristics, allowing for precise risk assessments and the development of suitable control strategies.
Tailored for your Melbourne based workplace, the ManTRA process will include:
The assessment examines factors like task frequency, cycle time, force, speed, awkwardness, and vibration, covering four body regions. This detailed evaluation aligns with advisory standards for a thorough risk assessment.
Based on these assessments, tailored risk control measures are recommended, specifically catering to the unique needs of Melbourne’s workplaces.
In Melbourne, the effectiveness of ManTRA can be further enhanced by integrating the PErforM tool (Participative Ergonomics for Manual Tasks). This tool emphasises the role of employee involvement in risk management, leading to more comprehensive and effective assessments.
Implementing ManTRA assists businesses meet their WHS obligations, ensuring a well-rounded approach to risk management.
Participation in the ManTRA process equips workers within your Melbourne sites with a better understanding of risk management.
Effective risk management of manual tasks significantly lowers the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries.
The use of ManTRA and PErforM in your Melbourne workplace strengthens the health and safety culture, mitigating risks across various operations.
Workplaces utilising ManTRA often report substantial reductions in sprain and strain injury claims.
A ManTRA is essential when manual handling hazards are identified within the workplace. This should include collaborative discussions with workers, safety representatives, and an analysis of local injury trends to pinpoint high-risk tasks within your Melbourne workplace.
Employ Health’s team of physiotherapists possesses deep insights into Melbourne’s varied industrial and commercial sectors. Our expertise in applying ManTRA and PErforM ensures an in-depth understanding of Melbourne-specific risk management challenges, compliant with the Hierarchy of Controls and the Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks.
