| Abstract |
Improvements to the QEC method for assessing the exposure of workers to musculoskeletal risk factors were made using a participatory approach with input from health and safety practitioners and ergonomics experts. Experienced users were interviewed to explore the usability, strengths and weaknesses of the QEC and an improved version of the QEC and Reference Guide was tested with practitioners. Revisions based on these trials have provided an improved QEC, Reference Guide and on-line resource. |
