24 September 2014, Winner, Hong Kong Ergonomics Society Outstanding Ergonomics Practitioner Award 2013/2014
Ms. Justine Chim, Principal Consultant, received the Hong Kong Ergonomics Society Outstanding Ergonomics Practitioner Award 2013/2014.This is Justine's second time to receive the Outstanding Ergonomics Practitioner Award given by the Society.
Chim's Ergonomics and Safety Limited received the award for supporting Ms.Justine Chim to contribution the promotion of the Office Ergonomics internationally and also provide valuable business resources for the project. In her awarded project, Justine developed her model “FITS Model Office Ergonomics Program” that aims to provide a systematic solution to manage the potential risk of musculoskeletal disorders among computer users in an office setting.
A comprehensive office ergonomics program, the FITS Model considers (1) Furniture Evaluation and Selection; (2) Individual workstation Assessment; (3) Training and Education; and (4) Stretching Exercises and Rest Break as elements of an effective program. An effective program can effectively reduce musculoskeletal injuries rates, enhancing productivity and improving staff well-being and job satisfaction. Justine will also share her experience on how the FITS Model Office Ergonomics Program applied in over 40 multinational corporations in Hong Kong and Asia in the past four years. Real case study of the office ergonomics program can show the application of the model into practice.
  
12 June 2010, Winner, Hong Kong Ergonomics Society Outstanding Ergonomics Practitioner Award 2009/2010
