- Background/Objective: Poorly fitted work organization is high risk factors for developing work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Bottling tasks require workers to maintain awkward posture while continually performing a machine paced repetitive motions throughout the work period thereby increasing risk for developing WMSDs. Determination of the association between such exposure to work-organizational factors and WMSDs can be the appropriate base for planning and implementing interventional program. This study was conducted among bottling workers of three bottling companies in Eastern Nigeria to investigate associations between work-organizational risks exposure and prevalence of WMSDs.
