Dr. Justine Chim to Deliver "Healthy Workplaces, Dynamic Bodies" Ergonomics Talk at HKUST

To promote staff well-being and healthier computing habits, Dr. Justine Chim, Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) and Registered Safety Officer (RSO) at Chim’s Ergonomics and Safety Limited, successfully delivered a specialized lunchtime seminar at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on July 16, 2026.

The 45-minute session, titled "DSE Talk: Healthy Workplaces, Dynamic Bodies - Modern Office Ergonomics," is specifically designed for university faculty, administrative and clerical staff, and any employees who engage in prolonged screen-based work.

With the rise of hybrid working environments and increased screen time, musculoskeletal discomfort has become a significant challenge in academic and administrative settings. To combat this, Dr. Chim’s concise, evidence-based presentation will equip HKUST staff with practical ergonomics knowledge for immediate application.

Key Education Service Highlights & Learning Outcomes:

1. Understanding Risks: Identifying the main ergonomics hazards associated with prolonged display screen equipment (DSE) usage.

2. Practical Adjustments: Step-by-step guidance on healthy computing posture, workstation layout, and optimal furniture selection.

3. Self-Management Strategies: Recognizing the critical value of movement, regular rest breaks, and simple self-help strategies.

4. Immediate Application: Providing clear, actionable steps that attendees can use right away in both traditional office and hybrid/home-working environments.

By raising awareness of healthy computing and dynamic body mechanics, this session underscores a commitment to fostering a supportive, productive, and health-conscious campus environment.

Total Space Governance (TSG) Model at HKIOEH Conference 2026

Dr. Justine Chim, Director and Principal Consultant of Chim’s Ergonomics and Safety Limited, delivered a keynote session at the Occupational Hygiene Annual Technical Conference 2026 Dr Justine Chim, hosted at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Her presentation, titled "Total Space Governance for Employee Well-being: A 6Ws Framework for Ergonomics, OSH, Housekeeping & Space Optimization," introduced the innovative Total Space Governance (TSG) model. The framework reframes workplace-built environments from operational costs into strategic assets that actively drive hazard control, health, and organizational resilience.

Integrating ergonomics, occupational health and safety (OSH), housekeeping, and spatial design, the TSG model utilizes a practical 6Ws approach—Why, What, Who, When, Where, and How—supported by local Hong Kong case studies. Dr. Chim detailed how tackling spatial inefficiencies and musculoskeletal risks generates WHO-aligned health outcomes while boosting productivity and compliance." TSG transforms high-density workplaces into sustainable competitive advantages," noted Dr. Chim, Asia’s first Australian-accredited Certified Professional Ergonomist.
