The prevalence rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) globally is notably high. There are a limited number of studies investigating WMSDs and their associated risk factors. However, there are currently no data available for WMSDs among industrial workers in Peninsular Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of WMSDs and associated risk factors among industrial workers experiencing WMSDs through their daily working tasks. Methods. A quantitative study using a questionnaire was conducted among industrial workers from rehabilitation centres and factories in Peninsular Malaysia. The analysis of 232 participant narratives aimed to identify the correlation between job tasks and musculoskeletal pain, especially in case of repetitive and heavy handling tasks. Results. The prevalence of WMSDs among industrial workers stands at 93.1%. The results also indicate that the most affected part of the body was the lower back, with 62.1% for 7 days or more in the last year, caused by industrial workers' job tasks. The prominent risk factors associated with body parts include gender, age, working hours and most difficult tasks with MSDs, especially in the lower back. Conclusion.

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) and noise exposure in different positions within manufacturing facilities that primarily produce electronic devices, wooden furniture and hardware machinery in southern China and to investigate the practical application of the risk assessment model. Methods. Noise exposure data were collected from 115 workers in 10 manufacturing industries in southern China through on-site investigation. Subsequently, sample testing was conducted in accordance with Chinese standards. The 31 job positions investigated were classified into two similar exposure groups (SEGs). The occupational health risk assessment (OHRA) model was used to evaluate the risks of ONIHL in various job positions. Results. More than half of the positions in both groups had noise levels exceeding 85 dB. In both SEGs, male workers exhibited similar risk patterns of acquiring hearing impairment, with a more pronounced and earlier risk of hearing loss compared to female workers. Age was also found to be a risk factor for hearing impairments. Conclusion. The ORHA model demonstrated a positive correlation between noise exposure levels and NIHL. This model can help employers assess job management with noise exposure and take measures to implement an effective risk management system.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141793782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this assumption has proved to be inconsistent in various contexts, particularly in regions characterized by ethnic diversity and economic inequalities, leading to diverse anthropometric characteristics. Considering gender alone fails to encompass this heterogeneity. The proposed approach introduces an 'anthropometric segmentation' methodology in which the population is clustered based on a wide range of anthropometric dimensions. Additionally, kernel density estimation is used when normality is not fulfilled. This step is critical, as it informs furniture dimensions by using selected percentiles from these density functions. The proposed approach is applied to a dataset of university students in Peru, a country marked by significant heterogeneity within its male and female populations. Ultimately, our methodology promises to improve the ergonomic design of furniture by accounting for a broader spectrum of anthropometric diversity.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141753107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grip force applied during repetitive hand tool use varies amongst individuals and some apply more force than necessary. Augmented feedback may help modify grip force to reduce the risk of developing cumulative trauma disorders but has been scarcely investigated during electric hand tool operation. This study evaluated the feasibility of using real-time visual feedback to modify grip force and forearm electromyography (EMG) during electric hand tool operation. A secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of hand and tool orientation on any effects of visual feedback. Methods. Grip force and forearm muscle EMG were recorded as participants fastened bolts at three locations (low, high and overhead) using an electric pistol-grip nut-runner, without and with visual feedback. Results. Feedback decreased grip force (36.1% decrease; p < 0.001) and EMG of three wrist flexor muscles (22.8-33.0%; p < 0.008). Grip force and EMG also differed between fastening locations, but there were no interactions with condition (baseline and feedback; p > 0.266), suggesting that visual feedback can modify grip force across varying hand and tool orientations. Conclusion. Visual feedback can successfully modify grip force during hand tool operation. However, further investigation is needed to understand how to appropriately implement visual feedback during hand tool operation.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141749275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Construction worker safety behavior (CWSB) may be affected by a confluence of multilevel and interrelated factors. Cultivating and maintaining CWSB is vital for improving construction safety. Current studies focus on organization-level or individual-level CWSB antecedents. However, few studies have examined the influence of psychological factors on CWSB, thereby reducing the joint effects of multilevel factors on CWSB. Methods. To determine effective strategies for strengthening CWSB, this study adopted the Bayesian network technique to explore the interrelationships between CWSB and its antecedent factors. A Bayesian belief network model was developed and trained with data collected from Chinese construction workers, which connected organizational, individual and psychological factors with CWSB. Results. According to the sensitivity analysis, safety knowledge, safety climate and psychological capital are the three most significant influencing factors for CWSB. A combined strategy that enhances safety knowledge, safety climate and communication competence simultaneously is the most effective option for strengthening CWSB. The validation and robustness of the network showed good accuracy for safety behavior judgment. Conclusion. This study proposes an alternative way to improve safety behavior by identifying its interactive causes and illustrates the importance of initiating systematic safety measures, which may help to mitigate the problem of safety plateau.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141731508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
