Globally, manufacturing
workers are one of the most
vulnerable groups to
occupational injuries.
Occupational injuries can
lead to
absenteeism, disability or even
death, and most of the inflicted
workers involve
young adults aged 18-40 years, suggesting a
safety and
health problem that
needs close
attention. In the
working environment of
manufacturing industry, there are a variety of
occupational injury risk factors, involving individuals,
equipment,
environment, and management, which should be considered comprehensively. This study found comprehensive
research coverage on the influencing factors of
occupational injuries in
manufacturing industry at individual, environmental, and management levels at home and abroad, and rich
research results on the impacts of
psychological factors on
occupational injuries. However, factors associated with
occupational injuries in
equipment safety and
engineering like man-machine
environment need further
research. Influencing factors at all levels should be comprehensively considered in the
surveillance and intervention of
occupational injuries in
manufacturing industry to protect
health and
safety of
workers.
