A holistic methodology for mitigating awkward postural risks: Evidence from South Indian small-scale industries.

Background: Small-scale industries (SSI) are the global economy's backbone since most industrial workers are connected. Most of these workers are contractual and temporary without appropriate training. Also, the SSI does not have a standard workplace with an appropriate layout and infrastructure, as they manage with minimum resources.

Ergonomic investigations on novel dynamic postural estimator using blaze pose and transfer learning.

The aim is to develop a computer-based assessment model for novel dynamic postural evaluation using RULA. The present study proposed a camera-based, three-dimensional (3D) dynamic human pose estimation model using 'BlazePose' with a data set of 50,000 action-level-based images. The model was investigated using the Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Transfer Learning (TL) approach.
