在低收入和中等收入国家，无结构和无管制的工作正在迅速扩大。此外，过度消费造成的城市废物积累是全球关注的问题。因此，废物管理和回收得到了越来越多的关注。与电气和电子废物（电子废物）有关的一个特定废物类别的增长速度高于其他废物流。电子废物的回收在很大程度上是非正规的，不成比例地依赖于中低收入国家，使工人面临各种职业和环境健康风险。为了促进更安全的工作做法，并限制与非正式体力工作有关的一系列广泛的职业健康和安全问题，更广泛的心理社会和社会文化环境也值得关注。本次研讨会将讨论在非正式的，不受管制的，非结构化的工作在中低收入国家，主要是在非洲和南美洲的当代问题。研讨会的目标是呼吁注意两个，非正式工作的独特的职业环境，以及需要新的人体工程学方法来解决职业暴露评估和肌肉骨骼损伤的预防适应非正式工作在有限的资源设置。
Unstructured and unregulated work is expanding fast among low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Furthermore, accumulation of urban waste resulting from overconsumption is a global concern. Hence, waste management and recycling have received increased attention. One specific waste category pertaining to electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) is growing at a higher rate than other waste streams. Recycling of e-waste is largely informal and disproportionately relies on LMICs, exposing workers to various occupational and environmental health risks. In order to promote safer work practices and limit a broad range of occupational health and safety concerns associated with informal manual work, the broader psychosocial and sociocultural environment also deserves attention. This symposium will discuss contemporary issues in informal, unregulated, unstructured work in LMICs, primarily in Africa and South America. The goal of the symposium is to call attention to both, the unique occupational context of informal work, and the need for new ergonomics methods to address occupational exposure assessment and musculoskeletal injury prevention adapted to informal work in limited resource settings.
