- Abstract: Globally, manufacturing workers are one of the most vulnerable groups to occupational injuries. Occupational injuries can lead to absenteeism, disability or even death, and most of the inflicted workers involve young adults aged 18-40 years, suggesting a safety and health problem that needs close attention. In the working environment of manufacturing industry, there are a variety of occupational injury risk factors, involving individuals, equipment, environment, and management, which should be considered comprehensively. This study found comprehensive research coverage on the influencing factors of occupational injuries in manufacturing industry at individual, environmental, and management levels at home and abroad, and rich research results on the impacts of psychological factors on occupational injuries. However, factors associated with occupational injuries in equipment safety and engineering like man-machine environment need further research. Influencing factors at all levels should be comprehensively considered in the surveillance and intervention of occupational injuries in manufacturing industry to protect health and safety of workers.
