It takes a narrative approach to engage the target audience. It delivers sequential messages that focus on providing employees with the knowledge and understanding of ergonomic injuries and strategies for safer practices to reduce the risk of injury. The video is similar in theme to the Charlie Chaplin Silent Movie genre, with a comic character used to deliver the key messages. It carries the tagline: Ergonomics injuries are not a laughing matter. The movie opens with a title card, just like in silent films, and covers major ergonomics issues in the office environment, such as posture, lifting, repetitive work. This video was distributed nationwide by PERKESO, the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers and other organisations involved in occupational safety and health.

This product was produced as a light comedy without verbal narration to engage the audience in a different approach compared to conventional ergonomic videos. The use of retro concept in the filming (silent film concept) was deliberately utilized to attract the audience attention. To avoid misinterpretation, short written narrations are given at the end of each scenes, in the form of title cards to conform with the genre. The film was shot within an office environment with a multiethnic employee composition including migrant workers to appeal to the Malaysian working population. Being a unique country with diverse ethnicity; this video can also be widely used in Asia, and while the issues are universal, this video is also suitable for worldwide audience.
