Postural Risk Analysis Tool for Risk Assessors.
Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is a postural risk analysis tool designed by Sue Hignett (Loughborough University) and Lynn McAtamney (Nottingham University) in 2000. The function of REBA is to assess risks of musculo-skeletal work related disorders.
This app links REBA to the convenience of your mobile phone.
REBA gives the assessor a tool which can assist in proving that the I part of TILE has been considered as well as to provide evidence when seeking to introduce new equipment or systems of work into a workplace.
In healthcare, it is the standard assessment tool when considering the musculo-skeletal safety of care staff. However, the opportunities for using REBA in industry at large should not be underestimated.
