REBA Employee Assessment Worksheet: A. Neck, Trunk and Leg Analysis

This document provides a worksheet for assessing postures and tasks using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. The assessment involves 14 steps to evaluate neck, trunk, leg, arm, and wrist postures and assign scores. Scores from different body regions are combined using tables to determine an overall REBA score, which indicates the risk level from negligible to very high. Additional points are given if the task involves static postures over 1 minute, repeated small movements over 4 times per minute, or rapid large movements.
