Ergonomics, workplace health and safety and employee wellness play important roles in the business operations and management function. Under the legislative framework, employer has the duty of care to provide a safe and healthy work environment.  In Hong Kong Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance and Regulations regulate safety and health at work of all economic activities which include both industrial and non-industrial organizations. The scope of OSH has been expanded to cover offices, commercial premises, educational institutions, clinics, laboratories and other workplaces. The legislation imposes general duty of care on employers, occupiers of premises and employees, and set down basic requirements in accident prevention, fire prevention, working environment, workplace hygiene, first aid, manual handling operation and use of display screen equipment. Company must develop strategies to manage the day-to-day occupational safety and health concerns and to ensure the operational efficiency as well as staff wellness.

The International Ergonomics Association defines Ergonomics (or human factors) as the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.  Ergonomics applies to all human activities. A properly designed and implemented ergonomics program will improve productivity and reduce injury rates. In the workplace setting, task analysis, workplace design and assessment and office ergonomics are important to create comfortable, safe and efficient operations.
