Abstract
Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are relatively common among industrial workers. Repetitively lifting, standing, bending, pulling and pushing are the major causes to WMSDs. This paper presents a literature review of studies that have been carried out on the ergonomic workstation design of industrial workers to overcome WMSDs. The objective is to provide information on WMSDs among workers and discusses the implementation of ergonomics to prevent WMSDs among industrial workers through workstation design. The results indicate that many workers in different sectors are exposed to ergonomic risk factors such as repetitive movement, prolonged standing, and awkward posture. Various ergonomic interventions have also been studied to prevent WMSDs. To conclude, it is recommended for future studies to assess these risk factors and its ergonomic implementation to mitigate WMSD risks among industrial workers.
