Background: Because the impact of accidents and occupational diseases can hurt
not only employees but also the company directly or indirectly, occupational health
is the most important factor that every worker must consider. Working in nonergonomic
conditions can lead to health issues such as musculoskeletal pain,
including neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal pain. In most cases,
musculoskeletal issues stem from poor work habits. If a worker's work posture is
wrong and occurs consistently over a lengthy period of time, it can lead to
musculoskeletal problems. A working attitude or posture that leads body
components to shift away from each other is known as unnatural work posture.
