Note:

The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is an ergonomic tool used to evaluate whole-body postural risks in occupational settings. It helps assess the physical strain associated with different tasks, particularly in workplaces where manual labor, repetitive movements, or awkward postures are involved. REBA considers factors such as body posture, force exertion, and movement frequency to determine a risk score, which can guide workplace modifications and injury prevention strategies. By identifying high-risk postures, employers and safety professionals can implement ergonomic interventions to enhance worker health, efficiency, and overall well-being.

Parameters Explained:

• Posture Score: Evaluation of body positioning (typically 1-12)
• Load/Force Score: Assessment of weight/force being handled (typically 0-3)
• Coupling Score: Evaluation of grip/hand-object interaction (typically 0-3)

Risk Level Interpretation:

Importance of REBA Assessment:

• Identifies ergonomic risks in workplace postures
• Helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders
• Guides ergonomic interventions
• Improves worker safety and comfort
