Occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are quite common among industrial workers. Repetitively lifting, bending, pushing, pulling and standing are the major causes to the occupational diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among industrial workers in Malaysia. Data for this study was collected via Science Direct, Google Scholar, IEEE Explore Digital Library, and Scopus for the analysis to the industrial workers in various Malaysia industries from 2010–2019. The results showed manufacturing industry had the highest MSD cases where 40 manufacturing industries were reported in literature. For the body movements, 59 lifting movements were reported and was the most common movement used by the workers to perform their task which might lead to the injuries of body parts particularly on lower back and shoulder.
