An Analysis of Publicly Available MSD Risk Factor Assessments
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 28, 10:45 – 11:45 a.m.
Presenter: Josiah Allen, CPE, Senior Solution Consultant, VelocityEHS
Description: There are many publicly available tools for assessing the impact of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factors, such as the NIOSH Lifting Equation, Snook & Ciriello equations, ACGIH TLVs, Strain Index, REBA, and RULA.

From there, we will be able to determine their relative reliability and validity in assessing MSD risk factors and ability to be utilized to prioritize risks for improvements.
