Besides, there is a lack of empirical shreds of evidence on the regional pooled estimate. Hence, the study aimed to develop the regional pooled estimates of occupation-related injuries among workers in Africa&#39;s industries.<br> <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>The study followed preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. The used databases included Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library. Further, a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment was used for the critical appraisal of studies. The pooled prevalence of injury was computed using STATA version 14 statistical software. Funnel plot and Egger&#39;s tests were conducted to evaluate publication bias. The study assessed the heterogeneity using the I-squared test and Galbraith plot.<br> <strong>Results: </strong>Out of 603 accessed studies, 20 that met the eligibility criteria were included. The pooled prevalence of occupational injury in Africa was 57% (95% CI: 48, 67). Totally, 62% (95% CI: 44, 77), 57% (95% CI: 38, 76), and 51% (95% CI: 32, 69) of injuries were identified in the manufacturing, construction, and mining sites, respectively, based on the subgroup analysis.<br> <strong>Conclusions: </strong>The rate of occupation-related injuries is dramatically increasing. Such injury is one of the immense concerns for workers&#39; health and safety in Africa. Hence, the stakeholders should carry out rigorous law enforcement to ensure compliance with health and safety measures.</span></span></p> Construction,Occupational Injury,Prevalence,Manufacturing,Mining,Systematic Review,Africa, 113 126 http://johe.rums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-407-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mitiku Bonsa Debela mitikubonsa8@gmail.com 22400319475328460011890 22400319475328460011890 Yes Master of Public Health in Epidemiology, School of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia.
