This document outlines the Ergonomic Job Measurement System (EJMS) guidelines for assessing neck and shoulder ergonomics in workplace tasks. It provides detailed criteria for evaluating both high and low force/posture scenarios, along with frequency measurements. The system categorizes movements based on neck flexion, shoulder positioning, and arm exertions, offering clear distinctions between high and low-risk activities. The guide helps safety professionals and workplace managers identify potential ergonomic hazards by defining specific thresholds for movement frequency and positioning. It serves as a practical tool for implementing ergonomic improvements and maintaining workplace safety standards.
