A multilayered ergonomic intervention program on reducing musculoskeletal disorders in an industrial complex: A dynamic participatory approach

Using Participatory Ergonomics to Improve Health and Safety in Commercial Lobstering in the United States: 2 Case Studies

“…Participatory methods vary [21][22][23][24] within different programs, 25 industry, 26 intent, 27 culture, 28 and worksite. 29 These 2 case studies were based on 4 principles 30 couched within 6 steps common to participatory research, [31][32][33][34][35] and in accordance with a utilitarian Scandinavian work environment model.…”

“…These case studies constructed a transformative research paradigm with an action-oriented, PE model for reducing occupational risk for pain and injury. The basic questions under investigation were: How can risk for occupationally related pain and injury be reduced in the lobster harvesting industry? What can be learned from a PE research model for intervention in lobstering? What are key factors in determining effectiveness in reducing exposure to risk for musculoskeletal disorders? Participatory methods vary 21–24 within different programs, 25 industry, 26 intent, 27 culture, 28 and worksite. 29 These 2 case studies were based on 4 principles 30 couched within 6 steps common to participatory research, 31–35 and in accordance with a utilitarian Scandinavian work environment model.…”

Assessing the effectiveness of an ergonomics intervention program with a participatory approach: ergonomics settlement in an Iranian steel industry

“…After initial prioritization of the ergonomic problems, the steering committee members developed relevant ergonomic solutions with the maximum usability for each item which ultimately resulted in development of strategic action plans with an estimated required time of 2–3 years. Then, the approved interventions were implemented practically in selected units (Choobineh et al 2021 ) (Table 1 ).…”

Developing a Comprehensive Model for the Prevention of Tension Neck Syndrome: A Focus on Musculoskeletal Disorder Prevention Strategies

“…Researchers and healthcare professionals have recognised the need for a multi-faceted approach to prevent and manage TNS. In a study by Choobineh et al [3], a model was proposed that focuses on workplace interventions, employee education, and technological solutions. The model aimed to identify risk factors, implement ergonomic modifications, raise awareness, B.…”
