Work Related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD)

Control Measures

To effectively reduce the risk, interventions in the following areas have been found to be effective;

  • Task – redesigning work stations, provision of tools, job rotation or automation
  • Environment – temperature, exposure to vibration, working hours, breaks, pace of work
  • Workers – provide information, training and support through process changes and better ways of working

Assessment of Repetitive Tasks Tool (ART Tool)

The ART Tool is designed to help assess repetitive tasks involving the upper limbs. It assesses some of the common risk factors in repetitive work that contribute to the development of upper limb disorders.
