Agriculture is one of the high-risk occupations, and musculoskeletal disorders are an integral part of this occupation and major farmers suffer from these disorders. The purpose of this study is Correctional measures in Estahban. In the next step, to assess the risk, only those who were working in Estahban (n=95) were examined. The methods for evaluating were PATH and QEC. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using McNemar and Wilcoxon tests before and after the intervention.

 This descriptive-analytic, cross-sectional and observational study was carried out at Workers in Estahban. People in the study in a simple random sampling method, 170 subjects were selected

Of the 95 (55.9%) of the workers, only the worker in the fig garden. Ergonomic interventions can be used as a remedial strategy and to be up right  some of  the problems of this group of farmers and 75 people (44.1%) were work also  by other businesses. Sixteen (9.4%) were single and 154 (90.6%) were married, mean age was 47.5 ± 14.4 years and work experience was 26.4 ± 14.4. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the organs was significantly different from the pre-intervention (P <0.001). The risk level of the PATH method before and after the intervention was less than 0.05. In the QEC method, the mean of total pre and post test scores was 94.36 ± 16.09 and 52.63 ± 18.16, respectively.

Ergonomic interventions can be used as a corrective action and to reveal the problems and effects of musculoskeletal disorders in this group of farmers.

Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the major causes of discomfort and disability among farmers. Among of the ergonomic evaluation methods, PATH method is one of the recommended ergonomic evaluation methods for farmers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and risk assessment in fig orchard workers. The study was conducted descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional on fig orchards workers. Nordic and Demographic questionnaire was used to prevalence determine of musculoskeletal disorders. Data were analyzed using SPSS-16 software. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the means. The results showed that age mean of the workers was 47.5 ± 14.4 years. The most disturbances were related to knee, bottom and back of their body (37.6% and 28.2% respectively). There was a correlation between the work backward and pains of the body, and those with more work backward had more difficult knee pains (P = 0.005). Severe flexion in the worker's trunk was most difficult by using of obtained results from the PATH method (prevalance 57.8%). The prevalence of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in workers of fig orchard is high, that indicate their environmental and working conditions, and inappropriate of their body postures are injurious, therefore corrective actions are necessary to improve of working postures

work-related musculoskeletal disorders are the most common occupational injuries. This study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in construction workers.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 among 82 construction workers in the West Azerbaijan Province. In this study the PATH method was used and the percentages of trunks, hands, feet, hand carriage activities, and tools used in the occupations was determined. To describe the data, descriptive statistics were applied.
The mean of age and working experience of the participants were 37.28 ± 6.68 and 11.94 ± 7.17 years, respectively. The highest body position was in the trunk (34.5 %), hands (55.8 %), and legs (50 %) were neutral. The maximum load weigh less than 5 kg (29 %).
Construction is a widespread activity with multiple occupations and tasks associated with serious risk factors for musculoskeletal system. To improve the working conditions of these workers ergonomic interventions is necessary.

Musculoskeletal disorder is more prevalent in construction workers compared to other jobs. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders using PATH method in construction workers in ILAM province.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 68 construction workers (10 masons, 37 simple workersand, 11 Tile workers ,10 plaster workers) in June 2015. Samples were selected randomly. The data collection tool was PATH method checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 19.
According to data from PATH check list the most posture for the trunk (57.5 percent) and neck (43.4 percent) was bending severe. Most posture for arm (59.5 percent) was both hands at the top of the shoulder height. Most state posture was for leg state neutral (86.2 percent) and leg bent (44.1 percent). Most of the weight of the load carried by 5 to 10 kg (36.7 percent) and 10 to 15 kg (46.2 percent). The highest of musculoskeletal disorders prevalence related to employee and Tile workers.
The musculoskeletal disorders prevalence was high in construction workers that show a dangerous condition in constructions. Therefore, corrective action for improve working conditions is necessary.
