Motormen face increased risk due to prolonged posture and poor ergonomics. The current study determined prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and postural risk in motormen of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 200 motormen. Work profile was assessed using a self-developed and validated questionnaire, musculoskeletal discomfort using Nordic musculoskeletal Questionnaire, and postural risk using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Of 200 male motormen with a mean age of 52.52 \u00b1 31.3 years, 74.5% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 149) reported musculoskeletal pain in the past 12 months, whereas 21.5% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 43) had pain in the past 7 days. The most common sites of pain were the shoulder (71%), neck (68%), lower back (60%), and wrist\/hand (60%). The majority of motormen (98.5%) had moderate risk as per REBA score. Logistic regression analysis revealed working hours (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.02) was associated with musculoskeletal pain. High prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was reported in motormen.
