Washington State Ergonomic and MSD Risk Assessment Checklists

Developed by: Washington State Department of Labor and Industries

Description: A library of resources intended to assess MSD risk in a wide range of industries and settings. Resources are categorized into “basic” (quick checklists and calculators for a specific job or task) and “advanced” (comprehensive resources to train or provide more detailed guidance) groupings. The three main considerations of the majority of the resources at this link are preventing high forces, awkward postures, and excessive repetition.
