This systematic review explored the effectiveness of workplace-based interventions on knee pain among workers.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A PICO-guided systematic search was performed in PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection for articles published from 2003 until January 2023. Eligible articles included randomized and non-randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of workplace-based interventions on knee pain among currently employed adult workers.

Importantly, none of the included studies specifically aimed at reducing of knee pain. Still, among the included studies, a strong level of evidence suggested no benefit of workplace-based physical exercise/activity intervention on knee pain. The level of evidence was deemed too uncertain to guide current policy/practices for ergonomic and multifaceted interventions. No intervention types were associated with negative effects on knee pain.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The current evidence-base pertaining to workplace-based prevention and management of knee pain is insufficient to guide effective preventive workplace practice or policy development.

Additionally, we explored the current and anticipated agendas of major institutions, including the World Health Organization and the European Union, on occupational health and safety, as well as potential developments in the academic publishing industry.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Occupational health and safety research has significantly evolved over the last 50 years, emphasizing longitudinal study designs, enriching observational data with registry-based information, and expanding the scope of hazardous determinants impacting workers` health. Novel statistical approaches have further enabled researchers to address complex associations, such as mediation effects, and to strengthen causal inference in observational studies.
