Musculoskeletal diseases can be caused in a complicated way due to environmental factors such as power, improper posture, repetition, pressure, static load, vibration and coldness, work condition factors such as work organization, and individual factors such as an individual’s physical conditions and diseases. In addition, ergonomic evaluation techniques are lacking of accurate evaluations as they may have differences in the applied object, characteristic and evaluation accuracy due to differences in the developed background and be applicable only to some of physical hazards (posture, heavy object, power). Accordingly, there may be different results depending on evaluation techniques although they are applied to the same work because every ergonomic evaluation technique has different characteristics. This study selected 10 representative businesses (printing business, manufacturing business for electronic parts, department store, large and general retail business, storage and warehouse business, restaurant business, cleaning business, hospital, care and welfare business for the elderly and telemarketing) with high outbreak of musculoskeletal diseases, identified the work characteristics and processes through visiting business places, and chose the representatively risky works for each type of business in reference to literature relating to musculoskeletal diseases. In addition, the most frequently used ergonomic evaluation techniques (OWAS, RULA, REBA, JSI, QEC) in our country were applied to the representatively works and the comparative analysis was carried out through regression analysis for the final scores per business type and average action level, resulting in estimates for the representative ergonomic evaluation techniques per business type. Moreover, the representative ergonomic evaluation techniques per business type could be confirmed from the preceding studies, which were studied in the past. The most suitable ergonomic evaluation technique could be suggested in priority for 10 types of business by comparing two representative evaluation techniques. In addition, the objectivity of studies in the past could be verified by suggesting the common techniques in 70% or more in the evaluation techniques predicted in the past studies and this study, and the objectivity of this study could also be verified. The outbreak of musculoskeletal diseases continue to increase despite industrialization and automation. Furthermore, the examinations on the harmful factors to musculoskeletal diseases have been carried out in accordance with the legal foundations. Accordingly, it is considered that business owners and examiners could accurately examine the risky works per business type by using ergonomic evaluation techniques in consideration of work characteristics per business type in examining harmful factors on musculoskeletal diseases through this study.
