Body Mapping is a way of identifying common patterns of
health problems amongst workers, normally doing the same
or similar job.

Body Mapping• Allows colleagues to gather information about their workplace
collectively.• It documents the findings. • It prioritise the process of hazard control.• Is a process driven by the workers themselves.• It allows the HSR to consult with and involve the DWG in the
identification of hazards.

Why use body mapping?
• Draws on the knowledge and experience of workers performing similar work.

BODY MAPPING
•Uses a body map showing front & back view
•Workers performing similar work pool information on health problems/symptoms
•Using coloured stickers collegues mark on the map areas where it hurts
•Patterns emerge by comparing symptoms
•The more people reporting the same symptoms the more likely it is to be work related
