([dagger][dagger]) Because ergonomic hazards are risk factors for work-related
musculoskeletal disorders, continued research is necessary to develop a better understanding of these hazards and to create interventions aimed at reducing them (2,8-10).
[17] have reported that new workers are more susceptible to upper limb
musculoskeletal disorders, whereas Noroozi et al.
Dentists are at high risk for
musculoskeletal disorders due to occupational health hazards.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) cover a wide range of conditions (e.g., tendonitis, tenosynovitis, epicondylitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, osteoarthrosis, myalgia, low back pain, and other idiopathic pain syndromes) that cause inflammation and degeneration of the musculoskeletal system and neurovascular structures [11].
Among the issues to be explored during the series of public hearings is an appropriate definition of the terms "ergonomic injury" and

The intent of the standard is to minimize the instances of
