“…The app features safety checklists and tools for recording observations and capturing pictures (Kahya, 2021). Gonz alez et al (2021) showed that Ultra Pro could help predict and reduce fatigue-related incidents and enhance worker safety (Sen et al, 2020). They offer resources for fall risk assessments, safety inspections and safety protocol documentation.…”

PurposeRobotics and automation are successful in construction, health and safety, but costs and expertise hinder their use in developing nations. This study examined mobile apps as a more accessible and affordable alternative.Design/methodology/approachThis descriptive study explored the use of mobile apps in construction, health and safety management. It used a literature review to identify their availability, accessibility, and capabilities. The study consisted of four five stages: searching for relevant apps, selecting them based on versatility, examining their specific functions, removing untested apps and discussing their functions based on empirical studies.FindingsA comprehensive literature review identified 35 mobile apps that are relevant to health and safety management during construction. After rigorous analysis, eight apps were selected for further study based on their relevance, user friendliness and compliance with safety standards. These apps collectively serve 28 distinct functions, including first-aid training and administration, safety compliance and danger awareness, safety education and training, hazard detection and warnings.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that mobile apps can provide a cost-effective and readily accessible alternative to robotics and automation in health and safety management in construction. Further research is needed to accurately assess the efficacy of these apps in real-world conditions.Originality/valueThis study explored the use of apps in health and safety management, highlighting their diverse capabilities and providing a framework for project managers, contractors and safety officers to select suitable apps.

“…The majority of previous review papers are focused on the job sector, specifically on the prevalence of issues and the proposed or implemented interventions. For instance, Sen et al (2020) examined the mining sector while Varghese and Panicker (2022) focused on the rubber processing sector. Additionally, a review by Rodrigues Ferreira Faisting and de Oliveira Sato (2019) examined the implementation of a specific type of intervention, such as assessing the efficacy of ergonomic training in mitigating musculoskeletal symptoms.…”

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are considered occupational diseases that can cause extreme discomfort and impairment. Due to the high prevalence of WRMSDs in Asia, ergonomic intervention has become particularly important and received growing interest among scholars. This review aims to classify ergonomic intervention practices for better musculoskeletal health at workplaces in Asian countries. PRISMA was chosen to review 22 recently published ergonomic intervention studies obtained from the Scopus and WoS databases. The findings revealed three main approaches for ergonomic intervention: application of devices or tools (seven articles), administrative approach (seven articles), and a combination of both (eight articles).
