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.
