Also, the weaving job had a highest risk of occurrence upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Mean of right and left hand exposure indices showed a significant different (p<0.001). There was significant relationship between UEMSDs with age (p<0.05). It was concluded that, the OCRA methods can be a useful method for evaluation of UEMSDs in repetitive activities.
