Ergonomics risk assessment tools: A systematic review

Introduction: The ergonomic approach involves a careful examination of a job task, worker actions, and critical job information. This approach detects ergonomic risks. Identifying and managing ergonomic risk variables during risk assessment is crucial to designing and planning work activities to red...
