ECL — Ergonomic Checkpoints List (ILO / IEA)
A practical, action-oriented workplace screening checklist designed to identify high-impact improvements across a wide range of operational conditions.
What is ECL?
Ergonomic Checkpoints was jointly compiled by the ILO and the IEA, built on decades of global, field-tested best practice in occupational health and safety. It uses an easy "Action / No action" checkpoint system to identify clear gaps between current floor practices and globally accepted safety baselines.
When to use ECL
Use during continuous-improvement walk-throughs, collaborative safety-committee reviews, or as a foundational framework to establish safety standards in expanding facilities.

ECL is part of our validated method roadmap. Our engine adds new methods on shared infrastructure — when ECLgoes live it will run from the same on-device capture and certified-ergonomist review as our live methods. In the meantime, tell us your environment and we'll map the live methods that fit today.
