Risk in industry. Operational risk Ergonomics is helpful in both the prevention of occupational diseases and the promotion of health. It plays an important role in increasing work efficiency and productivity, which benefit the organization and the community. The purpose of this study is to find the level of ergonomics awareness among multidiscipline engineering students in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Penang Malaysia. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 246 engineering students and the responses were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15. The results showed that the score of the average mean obtained for ergonomics awareness of ergonomics benefits and the effects if not practiced are 3.70 and 4.23 respectively which are considered high level.
