Abstract:
The introduction of the ART tool has provided inspectors and duty holders with a risk assessment tool where tasks that predominately use the upper limbs can be assessed. This is likely to lead to an increased knowledge and awareness of ULD risk factors. However, there is little guidance for inspectors and duty holders regarding reasonably practicable control measures where the tasks are performed manually and there is no mechanisation or automation in place. The aim of this document is to provide practical examples of risk control measures used in industry.
