Yet, workers in this sector often operate in hazardous conditions with little or no social security, occupational safety measures, or ergonomic considerations. Repetitive tasks, awkward postures, poorly designed tools, and physically demanding work contribute to a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and other health risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eErgonomics Risk Assessment in Unorganized Sectors\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive volume that sheds light on these pressing issues and presents practical solutions.
