Background & Objectives: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders caused by administrative affairs and duties in all societies has become an isolated issue, but it is possible to try to improve it by benefiting from the science of ergonomics. This study was conducted using observational and questionnaire methods to improve the status of Homa administrative staff workplaces in both financial and commercial sectors.
Materials & Methods: This is an applied descriptive study. with the voluntary statistical population of 25 people from Homa office workers using the method based on the self-report questionnaire of NORDIC musculoskeletal disorders and the rapid analysis of physical condition (ROSA) and the statistical methods spss18 and Spearman to check the standard deviation, mean and check the variables and the correlation between them was used.
Results: The final findings from the ROSA posture assessment with a numerical score of 7 for financial employees and 5 for commercial employees indicate the necessity of improving the workplaces. The results obtained from the Nordic questionnaire were neck 82%, shoulders and shoulders 35%, back 25%, waist 92%, hands and wrists 68%, knees 25%, thighs 5%, and ankles 5%.
Conclusion: Homa's office workers have workstations with a high level of ergonomic risk, people's physical condition does not match with office equipment and being in a static position, improper placement of computer accessories due to the time of using mobile and desktop phones, lack of elbow, forearm and wrist support. The non-adjustable height of the work surface, anthropometric characteristics behavioral characteristics, and body language during work are influential in the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders.
