Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis to describe the characteristics of each variable and to asses the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The chi-square test was used to measure the relationship. The results showed that low back pain complaints were mostly experienced by respondents aged 50-60 years (59,5%), with a working period of ≥ 5 years (52,4%). In terms of lifting posture, 24 respondents (57,1%) had a lifting indeks (LI) > 1.0, and 6 respondents (14,3%) had an LI > 3.0. the study also revealed thet there was no significant relationship between pushing posture and low back pain complaints.
