1. INTRODUCTIONIndustrial musculoskeletal injury (MSI) prevention initiatives require risk assessment tools which accurately identify jobs at increased risk for injury. Accurate identification of at risk jobs requires a model of MSI causation which considers relevant physical exposures in an integrated framework which assigns the correct relative role to those exposures. Ergonomic risk assessments are based on integrated models of MSI causation which account for the role of physical exposures in the precipitation of MSIs. Descriptions of several ergonomic risk assessments have been published and many of the methods have demonstrated predictive validity [1, 2]. Consensus among the authors of the risk assessments as to which exposures should be considered and the relative role of the exposures in the causation of MSI has not been reached however. Prior to calculating ergonomic risk assessments the evaluator is required to record the physical exposures required to perform the job. Traditionally the assessment of exposure is performed based on observation. A body of evidence is now present which calls into question the ability of observational assessments to accurately record exposures [3, 4]. Few studies are available which have examined the comparability of risk output derived from multiple ergonomic risk assessments and no studies are available which have calculated the methods on the basis of quantified exposure assessments [5, 6]. Given the common use of ergonomic risk assessments in industrial ergonomic initiatives evaluation of the agreement between methods
