  <abstract>Ergonomic risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a critical  occupational health issue among retail cashiers due to prolonged standing, repetitive  movements, and awkward postures. This study aimed to examine the correlations  between ergonomic risk factors and musculoskeletal discomfort among cashiers working  in three hypermarkets in Kelantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted using the  Nordic Body Map Questionnaire and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). A total of  44 cashiers, selected through proportionate stratified sampling, participated in the study. The findings revealed significant correlations between REBA scores and pain in  specific body regions, including the lower back (r = 0.341, p = 0.024), left upper arm (r = 0.301, p = 0.047), and right foot (r = 0.334, p = 0.027). Repetitive tasks, prolonged  standing, and improper workstation setups were identified as key contributors to MSDs.  These results highlight the need for ergonomic interventions, such as adjustable  workstations, regular breaks, and ergonomic training programs, to mitigate the risk of  MSDs among cashiers. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to  reduce ergonomic risks in the retail sector. The findings provide valuable insights for  employers and hypermarket organizations to enhance workplace safety and improve  employee well-being in retail environments.</abstract>
