Effects of job rotation on musculoskeletal complaints and related work exposures: a systematic literature review

Abstract: The aim of this systematic review was to summarise evidence on the effects of job rotation on musculoskeletal complaints, exposures related to musculoskeletal complaints and sustainable working life parameters. A total of 16 studies were included. No studies on sustainable working life parameters were found. The quality of the studies was assessed using a checklist; eight field studies and three laboratory studies of sufficient quality were used to summarise the following evidence: one field study showed posit… Show more

“…The latter is, however, not the case in all topographic areas (27). Even if interventions have rendered limited or no success, which for instance seems to be the case for job rotation (28) and advice on lifting techniques (24), they are still frequently applied in work settings.…”

“…Furthermore, we point to the need to understand effects on SB and PA of interventions that lie outside the three categories we found in the present literature. Examples are interventions such as job rotation and enrichment that redistribute tasks between workers or introduce new tasks in the job (85,86) and interventions rebuilding the workspace, such as designing offices to promote PA (47,87,88) and furnishing offices with equipment facilitating standing and PA (89). In both cases, effects on SB and/or PA are likely.…”

“…However, there is also a concern for the impact of work, and an interest in the burden of workplace morbidity from poor quality work. Recent examples from the ergonomics literature consider how the incidence of work related musculoskeletal disorders might be influenced by job rotation (Leider et al 2015;Luger et al 2014) or psychosocial factors (Bao et al 2015). The study of good quality jobs and their beneficial effects for the worker in a wider sense is a reasonable extension of this.…”
