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.

What ECL assesses
The body segments and task variables evaluated in a ECL assessment.
What it assesses
- Material handling and storage
- Workstation and tool design, machine guarding
- Lighting and environmental controls
- Welfare facilities and work organisation
Scoring and action levels
Final score range: Gap-analysis profile (prioritised actions)
Developed by: International Labour Organization & International Ergonomics Association
ECL is coming to Ergocure.ai
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.
ECL — frequently asked questions
What is 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 a good ECL score?
Gap-analysis profile (prioritised actions). A score of Implemented is compliant — meets baseline — while Long-term plan is capex and means requires capital expenditure.
When should you use ECL?
Use during continuous-improvement walk-throughs, collaborative safety-committee reviews, or as a foundational framework to establish safety standards in expanding facilities.
How does Ergocure score ECL?
ECL is on the Ergocure roadmap. Today the same workflow runs on our live methods — AI scores posture from a phone capture and a certified ergonomist validates every result.
