This study aimed to explore the risk of the musculoskeletal disorders on interior decorator. For example, wood workers, whitewashed workers and mud workers were the main research work. This study was record the working posture in field construction site and use Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) to observe labor working posture to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, use of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), to understand the frequency and manner of practitioners’ symptoms, thus clearer understanding of the injury and to prevent it. The results showed that interior decoration employed has been aging phenomenon in recent years, often using their operations pose for standing, bending and kneeling squatting, wood workers and mud workers for the most in need of improvement in the job, thus this study recommends greater use of assistive devices and protective gear before and after the operation to do simple calisthenics, to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorder.
