Abstract: Objective Work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) among workers in power grid enterprises have become a prominent occupational health issue. This article reviews the current research status of WMSDs among workers in power grid enterprises,summarizes the existing research findings,and provides new insights for the prevention and treatment of WMSDs in this industry as well as future research directions.The prevalence of WMSDs among workers in power grid enterprises is relatively high,with positions such as operation and maintenance,as well as line installation,being the high-risk positions for WMSDs in these enterprises. The neck,shoulders,and back are the most commonly affected areas. Various factors contribute to WMSDs among workers in power grid enterprises,including ergonomic factors,job-related factors,and individual factors. Currently,there is a lack of diverse risk assessment methods and intervention studies focusing on WMSDs among workers in power grid enterprises. Future efforts should involve conducting more prospective studies with larger sample sizes,utilizing advanced and comprehensive assessment methods,and exploring effective intervention measures to actively protect the occupational health of workers.

Key words: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders, Power grid enterprises, Influencing factors, Risk assessment, Prevention and control measures
