Ergonomics Screening Tool

Use the checklist below to identify risk factors for work activities with ergonomic concerns and risk-reduction solutions.
Contact the SU Ergonomics Program at 723-0448 for additional assistance.

Task:
Location: Department:
Evaluated By: Date:
DIRECTIONS:
1. Analyze the above task.
2. Mark the check boxes for any of the risk factors listed below.
3. List the ergonomic control measures that mitigate the identified risk factors.

1. Lifting
Risk Risk Control Measures
RISK FACTOR Factor (e.g. mechanical assists, making load smaller, additional help, lifting
Observed technique, postural awareness, microbreaks, work rotation)

Lifting more than 50 lbs. 

Lifting objects above shoulder level or


below the knees. 

Lifting objects with the hands more


than 12 inches horizontally from the
body.

Frequent lifts (>2 hours/day with >12


lifts/hour -OR- < 2 hours/day with >60
lifts/hour)

NOTE: If one or more of the above check boxes are marked (for lifting), efforts should be made to minimize one or more of the
following: the load weight, load distance, and/or the lifting frequency. For recommended weight limits, refer to the Lifting Calculator

2. Awkward Postures
Check if Risk Control Measures
RISK FACTOR (e.g., mechanical assists, adjustable workstations, tools with alternate
Observed handles, stands, larger grips, postural awareness, microbreaks)

Overhead work - Hands above the


head, elbows above the shoulders.
Cumulative duration >2 hrs/day.

Neck or back is bent >30°, little
ability to vary posture. Cumulative
duration >2 hrs/day.

Squatting or kneeling. Cumulative
duration >2 hrs/day. 
Bent wrists. Cumulative duration >2
hrs/day. 
3. Forceful Hand Movements
Check if Risk Control Measures
RISK FACTOR (e.g. mechanical assists, tools with alternate handles, stands, larger
Observed grips, clamps, making load smaller)
Pinching to hold unsupported
objects ≥2 lbs per hand (using pinch
force equivalent to holding half a
ream of paper). Cumulative duration

>2 hrs/day.
Gripping ≥10 lbs per hand to hold
unsupported objects (using gripping
force equivalent to squeezing car
jumper cables). Cumulative duration

>2 hrs/day.
4. Other (Body Movements, Vibration, Slip/Trip/Fall)
Check if Risk Control Measures
RISK FACTOR (e.g. automated processes, gloves/grip handles, barriers, proper tool
Observed maintenance, microbreaks, work rotation, proper housekeeping)
Repeating the same movement with little or no
variation (≥5 times/min). Cumulative duration >2
hrs/day.

Work involving sudden movements (e.g. starting a
chainsaw) 
Vibration from high-vibration tools (e.g. chain saws,
jackhammers, impact wrenches) >30 minute per day
OR from moderate-vibration tools (e.g. saws, sanders) 
>2 hours per day.
Work around potential slip/trip/fall hazards (e.g.
loading docks, stairs, wet/greasy surfaces) 
