Ergonomics awareness, working posture and muscle fatigue among industry workers and their relationship with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) symptoms: a case study

Ergonomic awareness in the industry is deemed to be low and that the increasing trend involving musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) has been reported. This can be attributed to several factors which include the lack of training which focuses on ergonomics and its weak implementation in the manufacturin...
