1985年，商店分销和联合雇员协会维多利亚分支开始关注在食品和杂货超市工作的成员报告的大量肌肉骨骼症状病例。在维多利亚州职业健康和安全委员会的支持下，开展了一项调查，旨在确定这些症状的普遍程度，并确定相关因素。一份旨在建立肌肉骨骼症状的存在的问卷调查管理的所有员工的7个超市的规模从15到171名员工，与73%的答复率。超级市场的工作人员主要是年轻、女性和流动人员。三分之一的人报告他们身体某些部位出现常规症状。计算身体部位和部门的患病率。几乎所有的身体部位都是收银台的比例最高。下背部、下肢和足部是患病率最高的身体部位。姿势和活动的样本，在每个部门的工作类别进行了采样，在10秒的时间间隔为30分钟，共1000个观察每个部门。站立时间比例与下肢和足部症状呈正相关，尤其是在90%的时间站立在一个地方的结账部门。结论是，有一个多余的症状出现在收银员，因此，收银部门的操作方法值得修改。
The Victorian Branch of the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association became concerned in 1985 by the large number of cases of musculo-skeletal symptoms being reported by members working in food and grocery supermarkets. With the support of the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Commission a survey was carried out which was aimed at detemrinign the prevalence of such symptoms, and identifying associated factors. A questionnaire designed to establish the presence of musculo-skeletal symptoms was administered to all employees of seven supermarkets ranging in size from 15 to 171 employees, with a response rate of 73%. The staff of supermarkets were predominantly young, female and transient. One-third reported regular symptoms in some part of their body. Prevalence rates were calculated for body area and department. The checkout department had the highest rates for almost all body areas. The lower back, lower limbs and feet were the body areas with highest rates. Postures and activities of a sample of job categories in each department were sampled at 10s intervals for periods of 30 min for a total of 1000 observations for each department. A positive and significant correlation was found between proportion of time spent standing and symptoms in the lower limb and foot, especially in the checkout department where 90% of the time was spent standing in one place. It was concluded that there was an excess of symptoms appearing in checkout operators, and therefore, the operating methods of the checkout department warrant revision.
