![]() ![]() It goes some way towards helping you take account of job rotation, and adjust role duties to try to reduce exposure scores. This tool helps you to prioritise job roles in terms of the overall exposure they generate for your employees. The spreadsheet allows you to calculate different overall exposure scores depending on whether someone a) rotates between the activities frequently (hourly or more frequently), or b) rotates between the activities more slowly. ![]() In the spreadsheet you enter the total task score for each separate activity which a specific job role entails, and the total length of time per-shift that someone in that role carries each activity out. The HSE’s ART task rotation tool is a spreadsheet that uses the data you enter, to calculate a single overall exposure score for a job role that involves multiple different activities. HSE will soon be publishing a new tool – similar to the MAC – for push-pull tasks which is much anticipated! But before that happens, in this blog I’ve flagged up two frequently overlooked additions to the ART and MAC that are already available via the HSE website, which complement the ART and MAC and extend their usefulness. This post tells you how to get even more out of them. The MAC and ART tools are great tools for initial identification of musculoskeletal risk factors.
