REBA

REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) is a tool used to evaluate how safely and comfortably a person performs physical tasks. It looks at body positions, movements, and forces involved in work activities to identify potential risks for injury, especially in the back, arms, and legs. By analyzing these factors quickly, REBA helps identify tasks that may cause musculoskeletal issues, enabling employers and safety professionals to make adjustments that reduce strain and improve ergonomics. It’s a practical method for promoting workplace safety and preventing injuries related to poor body mechanics.
