Objective[edit | edit source]
The Manual Task Risk Assessment (ManTRA) was developed in 2000 as a ergonomics risk assessment tool for the inspectors of the Queensland Department of Workplace Health & Safety [1] . It was developed to assess work-related musculoskeletal disorders risk levels in various manual tasks, job roles, or workplace conditions[1]. The aim is to help organisations prioritise preventive measures and allocate resources effectively.[2]
