However, many industries continue to profit from labor. MSD can develop as a result of poor working conditions and repetitive movements. This research was carried out in a forest products enterprise with two facilities in Western Black Sea Region. The company produces construction timber using Fir and Pine as the base material. First, the demographic information of the field workers was obtained, then the musculoskeletal diseases of the local parts of the body were examined by using the Cornell (CMDQ) questionnaire. In the second step, REBA analysis was performed independently for the workstations determined in the company. According to the CMDQ study, employees reported the most strain on the lower back, back, and right wrist. It was determined that the most discomfort was in the lumbar region (35.90%). Again, according to the pain felt, it was seen that the most obstacles to work were caused by the waist, right upper leg and back. Scores overlap according to the common body regions evaluated in the Cornell and REBA analysis.</p></abstract>
