Ergonomics Risk Assessment (ERA)
Ergonomics Risk Assessment Report (JKKP / DOSH Compliant)
Ergonomics Risk Assessment is conducted in accordance with JKKP (DOSH) Ergonomics Risk Assessment Guidelines to identify, evaluate, and control workplace risk factors that may lead to work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs).
Our assessment helps employers improve worker health, reduce muscle injury risks, and meet occupational safety and health requirements.

IERA vs AERA – Comparison Table
Item | IERA (Initial Ergonomics Risk Assessment) | AERA (Advanced Ergonomics Risk Assessment) |
Purpose | Preliminary screening of ergonomics risks | Detailed evaluation of identified level of the risk. |
Requirement | First stage assessment under JKKP guidelines | Conducted when IERA indicates the necessity for further assessment |
Focus | Early identification of ergonomics risk factors | In-depth analysis of exposure and risk severity |
Typical Application | Office work, Production work | Tasks identified by IERA as requiring further detailed evaluation |
Outcome | Determine whether AERA is required and recommend basic control measures | Provide detailed findings to support selection of appropriate control measures |
Tools Used | Observation, checklist, discomfort survey | Advanced ergonomics tools and measurement methods |
Control Recommendation | Basic improvement and control measures | Engineering redesign and advanced control measures |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No. In accordance with JKKP Ergonomics Risk Assessment Guidelines, IERA must be conducted first. A quotation for AERA will only be issued if the IERA results indicate significant ergonomics risks.
IERA is a screening assessment used to identify and determine the severity of ergonomics risks. AERA is only required for tasks classified as medium or high risk based on IERA findings.
If the IERA results indicate significant risk, AERA should be conducted as soon as practicable. Based on good industry practice, we recommend conducting AERA typically within 6 months.
