1️⃣ In your group, choose one real workplace/job (something familiar to you or your group members).

2️⃣ In your group’s column, identify at least one issue for each ergonomics domain:

• Physical Ergonomics (posture, lifting, repetitive task, workstation design, etc.)

• Cognitive Ergonomics (decision-making, workload, human–computer interaction, etc.)

• Organizational Ergonomics (shift work, teamwork, communication, policies, etc.)

  
  

3️⃣ Suggest one improvement for each domain that makes the work better (Remember: fit work to the worker).

4️⃣ Write your answers directly in the column. Feel free to add images, sketches, or links to illustrate your points.

5️⃣ Be ready to present your group’s findings in 3 minutes when we return from the breakout session.

1. Tempat Kerja : Pekerja Pejabat, Pembantu Perubatan (Attending Clients)

2. Isu: 

• Fizikal: Postur badan dan tempoh duduk yang terlalu lama.

• Kognitif: Beban kerja yang tinggi dalam melayani ramai klien sehingga menyebabkan keletihan mental dan badan.

• Organisasi: Sistem syif di pejabat yang hanya membenarkan rehat apabila tiada klien.

  
  

3. Penambahbaikan

• Fizikal: Memasang kerusi ergonomik bagi menyokong postur badan yang betul dan mengurangkan tekanan pada tulang belakang semasa duduk dalam tempoh yang lama.

• Kognitif: Memperkenalkan micro breaks kepada pekerja supaya mereka dapat berehat seketika tanpa bekerja secara berterusan, bagi mengurangkan keletihan mental dan badan.

• Organisasi: Menyemak semula jadual syif untuk memastikan masa rehat yang mencukupi diberikan, termasuk pada waktu puncak, bagi menjaga kesejahteraan pekerja.
