Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study was to present a systematic review of the health-related problems of factory workers in the textile and fashion industry. These workers endure long sitting postures, poor workspace conditions, and long working hours to complete their overload of tasks. This situation results in several health problems that affect the productivity, mental health, and well-being of the workers.
UNASSIGNED: The relevant data (21 article publications) were obtained from the Scopus database. Analysis of the 21 articles was grouped under 3 research themes based on the critical reading of the content and abstracts: respiratory problems, musculoskeletal disorders, and psychological stressors and other health issues.
UNASSIGNED: The findings show that factory workers are exposed to dust particles of cotton and other raw materials, fumes, and chemicals from manufacturing processes. This prolonged exposure without the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) leads to respiratory diseases like byssinosis that affect the workers\' health. Additionally, working in a particular posture due to the workstation design for prolonged hours causes musculoskeletal disorders or pains. Workers also suffer from anxiety, depression, and stress from workload and pressure, hence making them unstable with reduced productivity.
UNASSIGNED: The findings of the study reinforce the need for a safe workspace and spacious work environment, provision of PPE, training in occupational hazards, frequent health checks, and ergonomic assessment of workstations to reduce prolonged work postures. Stakeholders, employers, policymakers, and governments should collaborate to safeguard and protect the well-being and health of the workers at these factories.
摘要:
目的:本研究的目的是对纺织和时装业工厂工人的健康相关问题进行系统综述。这些工人暴露于长时间的坐姿,恶劣的工作空间条件和长时间工作以完成过载任务。这种情况会导致一些影响生产力的健康问题,工人的精神和福祉。
方法:相关数据(21篇文章出版物)来自Scopus数据库。根据对内容和摘要的批判性阅读,对21(21)篇文章的分析分为三个研究主题:呼吸问题,肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD),and,心理压力和其他健康问题。
结果:研究结果表明,工厂工人暴露于棉花和其他原材料的灰尘颗粒中,烟雾,和制造过程中的化学品。在不使用个人防护设备的情况下长时间暴露,导致呼吸道疾病,如byssinosis,影响工人的健康。此外,工作在一个特定的姿势,由于长时间的工作站设计导致肌肉骨骼疾病或疼痛。工人也患有焦虑,抑郁症和,工作负载和压力带来的压力,从而使它们不稳定,生产率降低。
结论:研究结果强调了对良好安全工作空间和宽敞工作环境的需求,提供个人防护设备,职业危害培训,频繁的健康检查,并对工作站进行人体工程学评估,以减少长时间的工作姿势。利益相关者,雇主,政策制定者,政府应合作,以保障和保护工厂工人的福祉和健康。
