Ergonomics risk factors and musculoskeletal discomfort among offshore support vessel deck and engine crews

One of the industries that make a huge return in Malaysia's economy is the oil and gas industry, but it is also one of the highest risk industries. This study was conducted to assess the daily risk associated with the ergonomics hazards often encountered by general workers and engineers on boar...
