Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) can serve as an inexpensive instrument for the identification and assessment of musculoskeletal risks in workers.

(3) The test and retest reliability test was done by calculating the correlation coefficient between the first and second filling which is seven days apart. Results: The results of the construct validity test showed a similarity (100%) between the self-administered NMQ and the interview results and the specificity value was obtained in the lower back, neck and shoulder region above (85%) with a specificity value reaching (100%). Reliability test results obtained Cronbach's Alpha value above (0.945) which means that the reliability is excellent. The Indonesian version of the NMQ questionnaire was declared valid and reliable for use on workers in Indonesia.
