In total, forty of the worst and most frequent postures were analyzed by self-raters and then, the same risk levels were determined for the six methods and analyzed with correlation and Kappa agreement coefficient tests using SPSS (version 19), and then they were compared with each other using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).<strong> Results:</strong> The results revealed the importance of Kappa Coefficient in which it shows the risk level of different method and specified pair method: OCRA/SI =0.25, OCRA/HAL=0.2, SI/HAL= 0.32, SI/ RULA= 0.33, REBA/OCRA = 0.4, QEC/SI= 0.27, QEC/ RULA= 0.23Inter-rater Reliability of the methods was found as follow<span dir="RTL">:</span>ICCOCRA=0.3, ICCSI= 0.67, ICCHAL= 0.8, ICCRULA= 0.85, ICCREBA=0.8, ICCQEC=0.972<strong>.Conclusions:</strong> The results showed that there was no complete agreement among the methods. This agreement among methods is evaluated from poor to good (0.2-0.4). The ICC showed high reliability in the methods except in the OCRA method.<span dir="RTL"></span> Risk assessment, Reliability, Agreement of Methods, Posture. 259 267 http://aoh.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-120-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Atefeh Siahi Ahangar https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1008-5733 No MSc of Occupational Hygiene, School of Health , Students Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Sahebeh Ghanbari No health products safety research center, Qazvine university of medical science , Qazvine, Iran Majid Hajibabaei mhajibabaei2050@sbmu.ac.ir https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9612-7836 Yes PhD student of Occupational Hygiene, Department of Occupational Health Engineering, Students Research Committee, School of Public Health and safety, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mahnaz Saremi No Assistant professor, Department of Ergonomics, School of Public Health and safety, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran Narges Azadi No MSc of Occupational Hygiene, School of Health , Students Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Fereshteh Jahani No MSc of Occupational Hygiene, School of Health , Students Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Sanaz Karim Pour No MSc of Occupational Hygiene, School of Health , Students Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Moslem Abedini No MSc of Occupational Hygiene, School of Health , Students Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran Hassan Mohammadpour No MSC of Occupational Hygiene, Department of Occupational Health Engineering, Students Research Committee, School of Public Health and safety, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
