• Description:
  Occupational health and safety is one of the pillars of public health. The magnitude of occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities has been well documented through retrospective analyses of existing record systems. This Special Issue in IJERPH sought research papers addressing risk reduction studies in occupational safety and ergonomics. All submissions were reviewed through the MDPI peer review process, resulting in the acceptance and publication of eleven research papers. The studies contributed to the body of knowledge in risk management approaches, work organization, and ergonomic work design as depicted in Figure 1. [Description provided by NIOSH]
