Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders In Swachhata Doots Of Panvel Mahanagar Palika: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract This study aims to assess the prevalence of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) and their associated risk factors among 200 street sweepers, known as Swachhata doots, working for Panvel Mahanagar Palika. The study employed demographic details, job details, and a self-reported Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) to collect data, along with the Rapid Upper Body Assessment (RULA) to evaluate work posture. The results showed that 74% of the participants experienced musculoskeletal disorders, with lower back pain being the most prevalent (39%), followed by knees (21%) and shoulders (15%). The RULA assessment revealed that a significant percentage of participants were at medium to high risk of developing WMSDs due to postural problems. These findings indicate that the job of a Swachhata doot involves a major risk of developing WMSDs and calls for preventive measures to be implemented.
