PErforM is a simple manual task risk management program which involves workplace-based teams devising manual tasks solutions for their high risk manual tasks. It is based on an internationally recommended approach for reducing musculoskeletal disorders.

The idea of PErforM is that the worker is the expert in performing their work tasks and therefore should be actively involved throughout the risk management process.

The PErforM program can be used in any industry.

The workshops aim to provide an overview of the PErforM program. It will include a practical session using the PErforM risk assessment tool.
