Document Summary

2. 3 main steps for rula: 1) observing and selecting postures to assess: scoring and recording the posture, action level assigment. 3. 3 reach guideline zones: 1) primary zone: secondary zone, tertiary zone. 5. 4 assessment tools used: 1) rula: strain index, integration of criteria: mital, physical demands analysis. 6. action level: - generated through use of coding system to determine the level of intervention required to reduce injury risk to the operator. 7. action level assignment: - grand score will dictate action level assignment. Alterations to work space or task may be based on action level assignment. 8. acute: - in which the load placed the system exceeds tolerance of the tissues. 9. amplitude: - of the pressure wave is expressed as sound pressure level. Measured in decibels, a unit of sound pressure. Becomes painful at 120db, 60db = normal conversation. 11. anthropometry: - the science of human body measurement. 12. awkward postures: - postures that strain the neck, shoulder, elbows, wrists hands or back.
