New risk assessment tools in the Netherlands
article
In this paper an introduction to and description of the risk assessment tools that are freely available for companies in The Netherlands is given. It is explained in what way the tools can and should be used and how the level I checklist for physical load and the level II instruments are related. The two instruments that -in 2011- made this 'Dutch toolbox' complete, are the checklist physical load and the Working Posture Risk Assessment Tool (WRAP 1.0). The content, the development process and some examples of these tools are explained. The toolbox is complete but does need additional evaluation to improve the quality of the assessments and the usability in practice. © 2012 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved.
