“…So, companies use this formula to work better, keep workers safe, and maybe spend less money on problems from lifting. Murugan et al (2023) looked at problems in the cloth-making business where workers hurt their muscles and bones, especially when lifting by hand. By using many tools, including the NIOSH lifting equation, they found out where the biggest dangers were.…”

In "Beyond Comfort: Ergonomics in Engineering Education and Design," this review looks at how ergonomic points help make health care places better. It checks how training programs can help reduce hard physical work troubles and stop bone and muscle problems. In terms of teaching, the paper looks at how ergonomic ideas are added into courses, focusing on new teaching ways for better worker performance. It also talks about differences in new learning places, like learning through computer-made realities, and old-style classrooms in engineering teaching. The paper points out many ergonomic problems professionals face in different areas like health care during big health crises, building places, farm work, and fixing railway systems. There are also talks of new tools and changes, like better wheelbarrows and different hospital beds, to make things easy and safe for users. The main idea of the book is to talk about the design and change of tools, work systems, and teaching plans to make ergonomics strong, reduce health problems, and make work output better.

“…In these checks, they look at many things, especially MSDs, how people stand and work, discomfort related to work and how different tasks make muscles work hard. For these kinds of checks, tools such as Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Ergonomic Checkpoints tool, Rodgers muscle tiredness check, and RULA are used much (Rocha et al, 2022;Lunin & Glock, 2021;Murugan et al, 2023;Abraham et al, 2022;Golabchi et al, 2022) In the area of industries and making things, many plans are there to make ergonomic methods that make people safe, healthy, and work better. These plans are mostly about making MSDs less, changing how work areas look, making ergonomic designs, finding out ergonomic risks, and starting ergonomic methods (Murugan et al, 2023;Abraham et al, 2022;Golabchi et al, 2022).…”

“…They worry about muscle and bone problems (MSDs), different ways of standing while working, soreness from work, and muscles working too hard. To look at these closely, tools named Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Ergonomic Checkpoints tool, Rodgers muscle getting tired check, and RULA are used (Rocha et al, 2022;Lunin & Glock, 2021;Murugan et al, 2023;Abraham et al, 2022;Golabchi et al, 2022). In some work areas, special dangers from manual handling of things are there.…”

“…In some work areas, special dangers from manual handling of things are there. Cloth-making area, for example, has many dangers, and people studying, like Murugan et al (2023), used different ergonomic look-tools to understand these dangers and make plans to solve. Building work also has these risks.…”

This review paper delves into the complex facets of ergonomic risk evaluation and reduction across various industrial sectors. The focus is on identifying the hazards linked to manual labor, especially those contributing to physical risks and musculoskeletal disorders among workers, and proposing inventive solutions to mitigate these threats. The review brings together insights from different studies, emphasizing the application of automation, virtual modeling, Kinect-based evaluations, and other innovative tools in repetitive tasks and material handling operations. It also explores the usage of back-support exoskeletons, observational checklists, and workspace redesigns to decrease risks in construction, manufacturing, vegetable transportation, clothing accessories, and other sectors. The development of risk assessment frameworks for specific roles such as container terminal operators and the examination of musculoskeletal disorders in diverse worker demographics, including older female farmers and factory workers, are also featured. The comprehensive approach of the journal sets the stage for future research, aiming to further reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders through continued innovation and cross-sector collaboration.
