Popis:	Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) resulting from the performance of hazardous manual tasks (HMTs) represent a considerable proportion of work-related injuries both in Australia and overseas. Within workplaces, efforts to reduce the incidence of MSDs are usually based on risk assessment methods that are applied to HMTs. Systems thinking is an approach that is being increasingly adopted within safety science for understanding and managing risk. To date, systems thinking has not been widely used in the HMT context, with no existing observation-based risk assessment methods adopting a systems thinking approach to identify and manage HMT risks. The aims of this research were (1) to apply systems thinking to understand and manage the risks associated with HMTs and (2) to extend and test an existing systems thinking method for use in the assessment of HMT risks.
