9 August 2007 Press Release - The Australian Consulate General-Hong Kong Headline: Hong Kong's First Masters Graduate in Ergonomics 香港首位人體工學碩士畢業生 Ms Justine Chim, the first Hong Kong student to graduate with a Masters in Ergonomics from the University of Queensland (UQ), will be at the Festival to explain to potential students the application and relevance of ergonomics in modern workplaces. Occupational ergonomics is much more than what sort of chair you sit in and where you rest your hands on the keyboard. It is the specific study of the interaction between people and all other elements of a work system – work task, workstation and tools, work environment and organization. Ergonomics principles can be applied at any time in any workplace. Ergonomics is such a specialised subject the reputation of the University and programs are very important. UQ is a member of the Group of Eight Universities in Australia so it represents the leading academic and research status in the world, said Justine Chim. Justine's expertise in ergonomics and occupational safety and health management in particular manual handling risk management led to an employment contract in Australia with Arnott's Biscuits looking at the manual handling risks and control measures like lifting slippery 25 kilogram blocks of butter into the biscuit mixing machines."

The title of the conference paper was "Ergonomics Workload Analysis for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Food Services in the Health Sector". The study was conducted in a major South Australian hospital. The physical demands, physiological responses and perceived workload were analysed to identify the risk factors arising from six manual tasks performed by Kitchen Hands. The assessment showed that physical demands during trayline serving – loader, collecting trays and trolleys and delivering lunch trolleys contributed to a higher risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Across the six manual tasks, the participants displayed the highest average blood pressure changes of 12.53% while dishwashing and 11.50% while collecting trays and trolleys. Delivering lunch trolleys displayed the lowest average blood pressure change of 1.65%. The perceived effort measured by Borg’s RPE scale showed that the perception of exertion for four out of six tasks was rated as “somewhat hard”. Recommendations focused on implementation of an effective hazard management program and maintenance and design of equipment and trolleys.
