✍️ Sample CEAS Questions & Answers

1. What is the primary purpose of a task analysis during a CEAS ergonomic assessment?
✓ Identify and document the physical demands, frequency, and duration of each job task

Task analysis systematically breaks down job duties to identify physical demands, awkward postures, and exposure durations that drive ergonomic risk.

2. Which risk response strategy involves reducing the likelihood or impact of a risk?
✓ Risk mitigation

Risk mitigation involves taking proactive steps to reduce either the probability of a risk occurring or its potential impact if it does occur.

3. When a worker holds a load at arm's length rather than close to the body, the primary biomechanical effect on the lumbar spine is:
✓ Increased spinal moment (torque) due to a greater moment arm

A longer moment arm multiplies the torque that spinal muscles must generate to maintain balance, greatly increasing lumbar compressive and shear forces.

4. What is a key performance indicator (KPI) in quality management?
✓ A measurable value that demonstrates how effectively objectives are being achieved

KPIs are quantifiable measurements that demonstrate how effectively an organization or process is achieving its key quality objectives.

5. Which body region is assessed most frequently during computer workstation ergonomic evaluations?
✓ Neck and upper extremities

Computer work primarily stresses the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands, making upper-extremity and neck assessment the focus of most workstation evaluations.

6. The Strain Index is an ergonomic assessment tool primarily used to evaluate risk for disorders of which body region?
✓ Distal upper extremity (hand, wrist, forearm)

The Strain Index was developed to quantify risk of distal upper extremity disorders based on factors like exertion, duration, and posture.

  • A printable CEAS cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
