Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and concise MAC chart were used to gathering required data. Then, the obtained data was analyzed using SPSS-20 software and applying descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test and Chi-square test.Results: Lower back, knee, hand and shoulder symptoms were found to be the most prevalent problems among the workers studied with prevalence rate of 73.8%, 64.6%, 58.4 and 47.7% respectively in recent years. According to the results the highest level of risk related to the risk level 3, then 4.
