As an expert or have knowledge about ergonomics, what are your thoughts on implementing procedures to prevent injuries in the kitchen or in a hotel? Moreover, thoughts on being in a digital era in which gadgets or VR can be a help in making the workplace uncomplicated.

Examples of scenarios are the housekeepers and cooks:

• San Francisco hotel employees reported work-related pain or discomfort. That same year, the American Journal of Industrial Medicine published another study that reported that 62% of all housekeeping injuries were identified as musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendinopathy and arthritis.


• The biggest problem in the kitchen, though, is heat. While this not only presents physical health risks, it also creates stress in an already high-pressure environment. “If you take the heat out of the kitchen, it becomes more calm and collected,” explains Pedretti. “So you have to look at the type of equipment you put in there.”
