“…This is in line with the findings of other studies in which association was observed between age and elbow problems [32]. For example, Landau et al observed higher prevalence rates of head, neck, shoulder and spine symptoms among older workers as compared with their younger counterparts in assembly jobs of an automotive industry [18].…”

“…Real-time control of the entire socio-technical system holds the promise of allowing workers to focus on value-adding activities (e.g. quality assurance) and to have greater autonomy on the job (decisional and workload management), better balancing of work with personal life, and in the case of older workers, longer work relationships [2,3,[15][16][17][18]. For example, assembly decisions will have software support, and simulations of machine operation in interaction with humans will be integrated through real-time digital visualization [19,20].…”

The increasingly complex socio-technical systems in modern businesses are forcing us to adapt our risk management models to a context of digital-organized production. This new phase of industrial digitization is bringing new opportunities and new challenges for managers and workers. A new work organization is emerging, along with new models for optimizing the allocation of labor to production activities. Three approaches are proposed in the literature: Mathematical optimization, models from work sciences, and integration of these two. Integrated analytical models are limited both by the number of variables considered and knowledge of the associated uncertainties. These models are static, not always focused on reducing risks at the source, and based on expert elicitation by unspecified protocols. Advances in this field are raising several questions regarding ethics, legality and safety. A model that allows systematic reduction of occupational health and safety risks and dynamic integration of operational considerations is needed. Successful businesses in the future will rely on managerial approaches that are interdisciplinary, focused on human wellbeing and draw on smart technologies and artificial intelligence.

“…Kurt Landau et al (25) concluded that musculoskeletal disorders in assembly jobs in the automotive industry with special reference to age management aspects, when workers performing assembling jobs, which regularly absorb highly tedious, short-cycle operation and this difficulty seem expected to become more acute in the future. Two absolutely different solutions were being used: (1) before musculoskeletal problems arise older workers were phased out under early retirement schemes, and first choice was given to younger workers, temporary or subcontracted basis.…”

-Industries act major role in the development of a nation. Many company workers have health problem since they do not follow or do not have awareness of ergonomics. These workers are the back bone for developing those companies. As an engineer our job i s to keep the worker's health in safe manner. Enormous effects of health issues arises on worker's body due to erroneous of ergonomics while carrying out and perform manual material handling for the following periods of prolonged sitting, lifting and different tasks in their job. And also inadequate lighting, improper ventilation, are also effects in erratum of ergonomics, many pains and other symptoms on the body like fee t, lumber region, erector spine muscles, cervical region, shoulders, upper arm, joints, knees, legs etc. so this review focuses on different kinds of industrial workers like garments, fertilizer, weaving, pharmaceutical, textile, cigarette, hand-woven carpet, office workers, small scale industries, taxi drivers, automotive industry, female nurses, their working condition to analysis the effect of erratum in ergonomics on health outcomes and remedies for industrial workers.
