Design and Evaluation of Ergonomic Interventions for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders in India: Somnath Gangopadhyay, Samrat Dev; Ann Occup Environ Med 2014;26:18-18. Published online July 1, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/2052-4374-26-18

Background

Improper workstation, work procedures and tools are found to be the risk factors for the development of musculoskeletal disorders among the informal sector workers of the developing countries. Low cost ergonomic interventions can effectively improve such adverse conditions.

Case presentation

In the present article some studies related to design interventions in different informal and agricultural sectors were discussed and their efficacies were analyzed. It was observed that with the help of appropriate interventions musculoskeletal disorders were reduced, adverse physiological conditions were improved when awkward postures were corrected and ultimately the organisational productivity was increased.

Conclusion

Proper implementation of ergonomic interventions can ultimately improve the economy of the nation.
