description: The primary objective of this study was to determine the  association between risk factors and the prevalence of  musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) among vehicle technician in  Perodua Puchong service center. Overall, 35 technicians from  Perodua Puchong service center were stratified sampling as  participants of this study. For evaluations of perceived MSD in  nine different sections of the body, a modified version of the  general Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used. This study  made use of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA),  vibration measurement on a hand power tool, a job content  questionnaire, and force exertion. To assess the impact of risk  factors on MSD prevalence, direct logistic regression was used.  Vehicle technicians at the Perodua Puchong service center are  likely to be exposed to a variety of ergonomic hazards and risk  factors. As a result, ergonomics awareness among employers and  employees, as well as training and information sharing, must be  increasedin order to reduce the prevalence of MSDs. (Abstract by author)
