Worksheet REBA

The document provides instructions for using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method to evaluate postures and assign a risk score. It involves assigning point values to different body positions of the neck, trunk, legs, arms, and wrists and then using tables to determine individual scores and an overall activity score. Higher scores indicate higher ergonomic risk levels that should be investigated and addressed through changes to reduce strain and prevent injuries.
