“…A second trend is a reliance on subjective self‐report measures, which is particularly prevalent in studies that examine general physical health, somatic symptoms, and those that focus on perception/feeling‐based physical health variables, such as fatigue, health satisfaction, self‐reported illnesses, and pain frequency (e.g., Carvalho & Chambel, ; Charkhabi et al, ; Kim et al, ; Weale et al, ). Single‐item measures are also commonly used in these cases and typically ask participants to report their perceptions or feelings about their overall physical health and somatic symptoms (e.g., Frone et al, ; Johns, ; Lee et al, ).…”

The challenge of managing work and nonwork domains is an omnipresent experience for the employed workforce that has meaningful links to psychological, physical, and behavioral health. Work‐life conflict can create tension‐based strain and deplete resources, in turn interfering directly or indirectly with health. In this review, we summarize the empirical literature on work‐life conflict, and the more frequently studied and specific construct of work‐family conflict, as it pertains to employee health. Over three decades of literature inform this review, with more attention devoted to publications from the last 5 years. Trends and gaps in the current literature are identified.

“…While a large body of evidence supports the role of physical and psychosocial hazards in MSD development, 6–8 the translation of this knowledge into prevention programs has been limited. As part of adopting a more wholistic approach to MSD prevention, understanding the role of work–family conflict (WFC) has been identified as potentially important, but current evidence is limited 9–12 …”

Background Previous research identified an association between work–family conflict and musculoskeletal pain. This study explores how conflict arising from participating in both the work and nonwork domains might influence the relationships between musculoskeletal pain experienced by workers and particular work‐related hazards. Methods A cross‐sectional survey of data was collected from 401 workers in Belgium across seven organizations in the service and production sector. Subjective measures of the physical and psychosocial work environments, and musculoskeletal pain, were collected by questionnaire, using either an online or paper version. Moderation analyses were conducted using PROCESS v. 3.5 and SPSS v. 26. Results Work‐related hazards appeared to directly influence musculoskeletal pain differently for men and women. In addition, low levels of work–family conflict and supervisor support combined interactively to reduce low back pain in women. For men, the combination of high physical demands and relatively high work–family conflict were associated with increased levels of low back pain. Conclusions Addressing the work–life interface is worthy of further investigation as a legitimate means through which musculoskeletal pain can be reduced. Musculoskeletal risk management strategies need to include risk factors related to the work–life interface, along with those related to physical and psychosocial work‐related hazards.

“…In the context of professional work, these factors can be divided into hazards resulting from physical workload (physical ailments) and hazards resulting from mental workload. In this group of factors, the literature on the subject reports on musculoskeletal ailments resulting from working conditions, non-ergonomic work positions, uncomfortable or forced postures during work, as well as mental workload causing stress (Mahdavi et al, 2020Teo, et al 2020Weale et al 2018;EU-OSHA, 2014). It is a group of risk fac-tors that are very difficult to reliably identify, assess occupational risk and characterize the effects and causes of negative phenomena.…”

“…Due to them, among others, excessive load with physical effort has been replaced by static effort, excess of signaling stimuli and noise. On the other hand, the automation of many work processes resulted in monotype and monotony, which were dangerous for the musculoskeletal system (Weale et al 2018;Woźny, 2020). On the other hand, the automation of many work processes resulted in monotype and monotony, which were dangerous for the musculoskeletal system.…”

The article presents the element of occupational health and safety management in enterprises, with particular emphasis on the identification of occupational hazards. The factors that may be a source of occupational hazards have been classified and divided. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of occupational hazards on work safety in the opinion of employees of micro and small enterprises. The research was carried out using the proprietary questionnaire. The results were verified by means of a direct interview with elements of observation. The research was compared with the trends prevailing in the enterprises of the European Union countries according to the results of the research conducted by EU-OSHA. Polish respondents considered physical and psychophysical factors to be the main occupational hazards. The results turned out to be very similar to those presented by EU-OSHA in its publicly available reports. The basic principle of occupational health and safety management, i.e. identification of occupational hazards, is reliability and correctness. Identification of occupational hazards gives the opportunity to take correct and effective corrective and preventive actions reducing occupational risk, for example through the effective use of personal protective equipment, or a more detailed treatment of both introductory and instructional training. The article also highlights the migration of individual occupational hazards, which depends on many factors, both professional and non-professional.
