TASK ANALYSIS<br />

1 – ASSIST CHEF (photographs 1-2)<br />

122 OCCUPATIONAL JOB DICTIONARY - HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY - HOTELS AND MOTELS<br />

1 2<br />

This task requires workers to assist the chef, by ladling sauces onto dishes or garnishing (photographs one<br />

and two), which is conducted at waist height requiring frequent reach just out of range. This task requires<br />

constant forward neck flexion and gross grasping of utensils with dominant upper limb.<br />

2 – RINSING AND SCRUBBING (photographs 3-4)<br />

3 4<br />

Workers are required to rinse pots, pans, plates etc., at the sink (photograph three). Power-hose taps are seen in<br />

some venues which are hand-held hoses/taps requiring cylindrical grasping with a lever that is activated by a slight<br />

amount of pressure. Alternatively, trigger grasping as depicted in photograph three may be used, although cylindrical<br />

is preferable. Workers may scrub pans either in the sink requiring stooping postures due to the depth of the sinks<br />

used or scrub pans on the bench area located next to the sink at waist height (photograph four). This is a preferable<br />

method as stooping is avoided and reaching requirements are minimal.
