- Abstract: Ergonomic exposure is one of the important causes of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Accurate measurement and evaluation of ergonomic exposure level and implementation of ergonomic intervention are of great significance to the prevention and control of WMSDs. Ergonomic exposure can be divided into external exposure and internal exposure, and its evaluation methods include subjective judgment method, systematic observation method, and direct measurement method. This paper summarized the internal exposure assessment methods based on musculoskeletal dynamics and biomarkers, introduced the overall design concept of ergonomic exposure assessment system, used the Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet (EAWS) as an example, and discussed the development trend of automation, intelligence, and compounding of ergonomic exposure assessment methods and the factors considered in the selection of ergonomic exposure assessment methods.
