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.
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.
Proper implementation of ergonomic interventions can ultimately improve the economy of the nation.
在发展中国家的非正规部门工人中，不合适的工作场所、工作程序和工具被发现是肌肉骨骼疾病发生的风险因素。低成本的人体工程学干预措施可以有效改善这些不利状况。
在本文中，讨论了一些与不同非正规和农业部门设计干预措施相关的研究，并分析了它们的效果。观察到，通过适当的干预措施，肌肉骨骼疾病减少了，纠正了不良姿势后，不良生理状况得到改善，最终组织生产力提高了。
人体工程学干预措施的正确实施最终可以改善国家的经济状况。
