OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONS Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent in many industries worldwide, including the large and labor-intensive mining sector. A systematic review was carried out to understand problems in the mining sector issues from three broad perspectives: 1) the prevalence of WMSDs among miners; 2) the association of occupational, psychosocial, environmental, and other risk factors with WMSDs causation; and 3) ergonomics interventions already proposed or implemented, and scope for design interventions. Our review revealed that automation, job aids, and displays are methods suitable for ergonomic design interventions. Ergonomic intervention strategies at various hierarchical levels, and the successive way forward as proposed in our review, could act as a catalyst in formulating problem-specific solution strategies by the participation of diverse stakeholders to implement a more human-centric workplace.
职业应用 与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）在全球许多行业中普遍存在，包括劳动密集型的大型采矿业。进行了一项系统评价，从三个广泛的角度了解采矿业的问题：1）矿工中 WMSD 的流行程度；2）职业、心理社会、环境和其他风险因素与 WMSD 病因的关联；3）已经提出或实施的工效学干预措施，以及设计干预措施的范围。我们的综述表明，自动化、作业辅助工具和显示器是适合工效学设计干预的方法。在不同层次上的工效学干预策略，以及我们综述中提出的逐步推进的方法，可以通过不同利益相关者的参与，制定针对具体问题的解决方案策略，为制定特定问题的解决方案策略提供催化剂，以实现更以人为本的工作场所。
