Massive Survey Data, Managed Easily and Thoroughly with IT
A smart musculoskeletal hazard survey and integrated solution with minimum cost and maximum efficiency
Musculoskeletal Hazard Survey — Musculoskeletal hazard surveys for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and improving productivity, transformed with an IT-based integrated management system.
Who it’s for · Companies with 50 or more workers
Are You Facing These Challenges?
This statutory survey comes around regularly. Are you so busy sorting through hundreds of symptom questionnaires and result reports that you miss out on real discussions with the field?
Legal Risk
I hear that skipping the survey or getting it wrong can mean up to five years’ imprisonment or a fine of up to KRW 50 million. We need full compliance.
Heavy Admin Work and Limited Data Management
Collecting paper questionnaires one by one from hundreds of workers, running the statistics in Excel and writing up the report is a huge hassle, and we can’t keep track of the history.
Poor Results for the Cost
We pay consulting fees every time, but all we’re left with is a thick report. It never leads to real improvements on site or integrated safety and health management.
What Sets EHS Friends Apart
EHS Friends goes beyond simply delivering a report. We provide an IT environment that makes it as easy as possible for companies with 50 or more workers and their own internal resources to manage their safety and health work in one place.
Minimal, Optimal Compliance, Fully Achieved at a Reasonable Cost
- We conduct the regular surveys (every three years) and ad hoc surveys (when processes are added or changed) required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), optimized for your company’s situation.
- By cutting out unnecessary, excessive consulting, we offer competitive pricing while fully meeting the essential legal requirements in preparation for Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) inspections.
Smart, IT-Based Surveys and Record Management
- Through our “AI-Based Method and System for Generating Consulting Reports” (patent pending, Application No. 10-2026-0037764), MSD symptom questionnaires from hundreds of workers are easily collected on mobile and turned into statistics automatically.
- EHS Friends’ wide-ranging field experience and IT capabilities make efficient surveys and record management possible.
Detailed Assessment by Ergonomics Experts, Put to Work on Site
- Going beyond simple interviews, we use ergonomic assessment tools such as RULA, REBA and the NIOSH lifting equation to scientifically analyze the hazards of musculoskeletal-burdening work (11 categories).
- Work environment improvement measures identified in the assessment are linked to the toolbox meeting (TBM) log automation app so that field workers are informed and trained right away.
What Our Consulting Includes
A one-stop process that combines systematic expert assessment with IT solutions.
- STEP 1
Preliminary Survey and Selection of Target Processes
- We review every process in the workplace and accurately determine whether it falls under the 11 categories of musculoskeletal-burdening work designated by MOEL Public Notice, such as repetitive work, awkward postures and excessive force.
- STEP 2
Mobile Symptom Questionnaire and Expert Hazard Survey
- Worker participation — The MSD signs and symptoms questionnaire is easily conducted for all workers through the safety and health management app.
- Expert survey — Health and ergonomics experts go on site to examine workplace circumstances (workload, pace, etc.) and task conditions (posture, duration, etc.), and carry out a macroergonomic analysis that includes psychosocial factors.
- STEP 3
Work Environment Improvement Measures and Medical Management Support
- Based on the hazard assessment results, we propose engineering and administrative controls that can realistically be introduced.
- We provide guidance on medical follow-up for workers reporting symptoms and those with disorders, such as job reassignment, rest breaks and provision of protective equipment.
- STEP 4
Follow-Up and Integration Through a Digital Solution
- We register the final report and the points to communicate to workers in the EHS Friends digital system, supporting TBM logs and integrated safety and health management.
