摘要: Background. Changes in industries and work practices have coincided with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MSDs assess postural loading assembly workers an Iranian telecommunication manufacturing company. Methods. Data were collected from 193 randomly selected 4 units The Nordic questionnaire UBC ergonomic checklist used as data collection tools. Loading on upper body assessment (LUBA) loading. Results. Lower back symptoms most prevalent problems among (67.9%). LUBA showed that (94.3%) had experienced considerable high (postural load index, PLI > 5). Regression analyses revealed lighting, rotation, contact stress, repetition, gender age factors associated symptoms. Conclusion. Work-related occurred at a rate workers. Postural requires consideration. Any intervention should focus eliminating
