A Systematic Literature Review of the Factors Influencing Hearing Protection Device Usage among Industrial Workers.

This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to determine the factors influencing the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs) among industrial workers. This study was guided by the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) review method, and four databases comprising Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar were employed. A total of 196 articles were identified, and 28 studies on the factors associated with HPD use among industrial workers from 2006 to 2021 met the inclusion criteria.

Postural assessment in pen-and-paper-based observational methods and their associated health effects: a review.

Introduction: This review describes standardized ergonomics assessment based on pen-and-paper observational methods for assessing ergonomics risk factors.

Objective: The three main objectives are to analyze published pen-and-paper observational methods, to extract and understand the risk levels of each method and to identify their associated health effects.

Methodology: The authors searched scientific databases and the Internet for materials from 1970 to 2013 using the following keywords: ergo, posture, method, observational, postural angle, health effects, pain and diseases.
