Prevalence and determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders among quarry workers in The Gambia: a cross-sectional study
This study underscores a critical public health concern with the high prevalence of MSDs among quarry workers in The Gambia, which is associated with poor ergonomic training and inadequate safety training. Reducing the burden of MSDs in this population requires interventions that focus on better working conditions, ergonomic training, and regular health evaluations.
