Forensic workers face challenges with work conditions impacting their ability to work as they age. Improving workplace ergonomics and implementing specialized safety services are crucial for worker well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Ergonomics
  • Forensic Science

Context:

  • This study investigates the relationship between work conditions and aging among forensic workers.
  • A significant number of workers reported cognitive demands and various health issues, including musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate how work conditions affect the aging process and work ability of forensic personnel.
  • To identify factors contributing to reduced work ability in this occupational group.

Summary:

  • Eight hundred and seven forensic workers completed the Work Ability Index (WAI) questionnaire.
  • Job analysis using the AET method assessed ergonomic conditions.
  • Logistic regression revealed that female workers, those with longer tenure, and operational helpers had higher odds of low or moderate WAI.
