“…In this scoping review method analysis, research results from several journals on ergonomics show that the use of ergonomic interventions can significantly improve employee safety and well-being in various work contexts. For example, research on a fuzzy logic-based decision support system [1] in ergonomic risk assessment proved its effectiveness by generating a composite risk score that covers various ergonomic aspects. Training programs such as Safety Voice for Ergonomics (SAVE) [2] have also proven effective in improving ergonomic practices and safety culture among construction workers.…”

“…The analysis of these journals indicates that ergonomics interventions play a crucial role in improving workplace safety. For example, the application of fuzzy logic-based decision support systems [1] in ergonomic risk assessment can help practitioners identify risks and make tactical and strategic decisions that impact employee safety. Training programs such as Safety Voice for Ergonomics (SAVE) [2] have proven successful in improving ergonomics practices and creating a better safety culture among workers.…”

All aspects related to manual material handling if not done properly can result in losses and even accidents. One of the negative impacts of improper manual work handling is the onset of musculoskeletal complaints. To evaluate work postures, especially in production areas that are doing work, ergonomic principles must be applied. This literature research aims to, search for relevant literature related to the application of ergonomics, map the literature so that it can provide an understanding of the importance of ergonomics integration in work safety practices in various industrial sectors. This research uses a scoping review approach to identify, describe, and organize the literature related to optimizing work safety using ergonomic principles. The data collected in this study was gathered by searching scientific literature in online scientific databases using ScienceDirect using keywords and search phrases relevant to the research topic. The final 13 articles obtained were then analyzed, then the articles were classified into 2 topics, namely (1) the use of ergonomics interventions for employee safety and (2) the impact of ergonomics interventions on employee safety. The results of our review found that the application of ergonomics in occupational safety can result in a number of positive impacts on work and organizations such as improved safety, reduction of work-related injuries, increased productivity, reduced fatigue, improved work quality, and worker well-being.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to develop a multi-criteria-based scoring model to upgrade the work stress prevention checkpoints to a stress-management tool for estimating the risk score of the workplace’s stressors and prioritizing the control solutions.Design/methodology/approachA Panel of ten experts was formed and capitalized on Fuzzy Delphi, Fuzzy DEMATEL, and SWARA methods to discover the decision criteria, obtain the weights of the checkpoints’ dimensions, and develop the system to be used in an organization. The developed tool is finally applied in an organization as a case study.FindingsFive criteria, namely Intellectual, Physical, Emotional, Behavioral, and Organizational reactions were found with respect to which the dimensions were prioritized. Generally, the heaviest weight belonged to “Job demand” by 0.13, followed by “Work-life balance and working times”, “Social support”, “Leadership and justice at work”, “Job control”, and “Job security” with weights of 0.118, 0.116, 0.114, 0.11, and 0.1, respectively. The “information and communication” had the lowest weight by 0.062.Practical implicationsIt was found that multiple stress-related factors have different importance that can be considered in work-related stress (WRS) assessments. To this end, combining MCDM methods is a suitable approach to determine the factors’ importance coefficients.Originality/valueThis tool allows an organization to control work stress on the basis of one particular criterion or multiple criteria. The case study results showed that this tool makes the implementation of corrective measures much easier to manage based on the risk level of each dimension.
