For that purpose, the questionnaire has been conducted to 92 participants working as blue collar workers, 12 of questionnaire have been considered invalid and 80 of them have been analyzed. The questionnaire of the research is structured by using The Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire and the perceived pain scale.
