Applying Ergonomics to Reduce Musculoskeletal Risks for Malaysian Batik Workers
With the support of the Foundation for Professional Ergonomics (FPE) impact grant program, Dr. Dian Darius of the National Defense University of Malaysia and Dr. Darliana Mohammad of the Universiti Malaysia Kelantan investigated the ergonomic risks common to workers in the batik industry. Batik is a traditional textile artwork produced by hand in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. More than 60% of batik workers have been found to suffer from musculoskeletal problems due to awkward postures.

New Ergonomics Certification Program in Thailand
With the support of the Foundation for Professional Ergonomics (FPE) impact grant program, Dr. Manida Neubert and her team of investigators developed a certification system and core competencies for professional ergonomists in Thailand. The investigators compiled details about HFE education in Thailand and the need for HFE services by Thai industries. This information was used to identify educational competencies and deficiencies and develop a pilot HFE certification program consistent with other IEA's endorsed certification bodies. The certification program establishes a guideline for knowledge and skill requirements for professional ergonomists in Thailand which will, in turn, improve productivity and safety in Thai manufacturing and service industries.
