Objectives: Analyze MSDs among workers of the National Electricity Company of Senegal. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out from April 2 to May 15, 2022. The INRS TMS questionnaire version 2000 was used. The analysis was carried out with Excel 2016 and R version 4.1.1 software. During the bivariate analysis, the Chi2 test was used. The p was considered significant if it was less than 0.05. Results: The average age of the sample was 42.4 years ± 9.5. The sex ratio (M/F) was 3.16 in favor of men. The prevalence of MSDs was 91%. The average number of MSD locations per affected worker was 3.1. Low back pain (58.8%) and back pain (54.2%) were the most frequently reported MSDs. When working, the sitting position and prolonged standing position were adopted respectively by 57.7% and 39.4% of workers. Break time, work requiring work very quickly, work under deadline, risk of error in work in the event of lack of concentration and the latitude of being able to work at the desired speed had a significant link with occurrence of MSDs (p<0.05). Conclusion: MSDs constitute an occupational health problem within the National Electricity Company of Senegal. This study proves the need to strengthen, on the one hand, awareness, training of workers and on the other hand, the review of the organization and management of personnel.

Objectifs: Analyser les TMS parmi les travailleurs de la Société Nationale d’Electricité du Sénégal. Méthodologie: Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale, descriptive et analytique, réalisée du 2 avril au 15 mai 2022. Le questionnaire TMS de l’INRS version 2000 a été utilisé. L’analyse a été effectuée avec les logiciels excel 2016 et R version 4.1.1. Lors de l’analyse bi variée, le test de Khi2 a été utilisé. Le p était considéré significatif s’il était inférieur à 0,05. Résultats: L’âge moyen de l’échantillon était de 42,4 ans ± 9,5. Le sex-ratio (H/F) était de 3,16 en faveur des hommes. La prévalence des TMS était de 91%. La moyenne des localisations des TMS par travailleur affecté était de 3,1. Les lombalgies (58,8%) et les dorsalgies (54,2%) étaient les TMS les plus répertoriés. Lors du travail, la position assise et celle debout prolongée étaient adoptées respectivement par 57,7% et 39,4% des travailleurs. L’heure de pause, le travail obligeant à travailler très vite, le travail sous délai, le risque d’erreur dans le travail en cas d’absence de concentration et la latitude de pouvoir travailler à la vitesse souhaitée avaient un lien significatif avec la survenue des TMS (p<0,05). Conclusion: Les TMS constituent un problème de santé au travail au sein de la Société Nationale d’Electricité du Sénégal. Cette étude prouve la nécessité de renforcer d’une part, la sensibilisation, la formation des travailleurs et d’autre part, la revue de l’organisation et du management du personnel.
