The aim of this study was to comparing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and risk of work postures in Quarry and Stone Industries workers.
Material and methods: this cross-sectional and analytical study was done on 63 workers of Stone Industries and 46 workers of Quarries in Kermanshah. Data were collected using by Nordic standard questionnaire, Body map chart and REBA method. The gathered data was been analyzed by Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney, Spearman and Pearson tests. P was 0.05.
Results: The most prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in both Stone and Quarry industries was related to low back that was 54% and 39% respectively. Mean and standard deviation of final scores of REBA in Stone and Quarry workers were 9.06±1.45 and 4.6±1.18 respectively. Results shows that a significantly correlation between age, work history and BMI with musculoskeletal disorders in Stone Industries and between age and work history with this disorders in Quarries (P<0.05).
