Methods
In this viewpoint, we aimed to undertake a thorough investigation, evaluation, and clarification of the fundamental occupational factors influencing health. We conducted computer-based searches in academic databases including PubMed and ScienceDirect. To optimize search outcomes, we employed diverse combinations of keywords identified in the literature, Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) and general terms associated with various types of workplace hazards and their health implications. Some of these terms such as occupational health, workplace hazards, prevalence of occupational hazards, physical hazards, chemical hazards, biological hazards, musculoskeletal disorder, Covid-19 pandemic, occupational diseases, and socioeconomic status. The table showing the combination of the searched words can be found in table 1.
