Survey on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among workers in furniture manufactures

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  • Objective To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers in furniture manufactures.
    Methods Cross-sectional survey was conducted with WMSDs questionnaire among 437 workers in furniture manufactures.
    Results General annual prevalence of WMSDs among these workers was 32.27%. The predominant sites of WMSDs were low back (11.21%), neck (9.84%) and shoulder (7.78%). The prevalence of WMSDs in neck and wrist/hand among female workers was higher than that of male workers(P < 0.05). The prevalence of WMSDs in neck was statistically significant among workers with different working time (P < 0.05), and showed an increasing trend with exposure year. Lifting heavy objects and un-match between workbench and personal size were the major risk factors.
    Conclusion WMSDs among workers in furniture manufactures is serious and needs to be paid attention to.
