The analysis is conducted through library research and field surveys of respondents. The research methodology adopted is content analysis with systematic reviews of relevant related scientific journals since the research study is from the conceptual approach. In addition, the data from the surveys will also be used to strengthen the justification of this research outcome and its hypothesis. The objective of this research paper is to identify the various main types of pain suffered by drivers resulting from sitting in an awkward posture in the car seat either during driving or stationary mode with the ultimate aim of determining the most dominant and prevalent pain, namely low back pain (LBP) in relation to the sitting postures of drivers. With this research knowledge content, it is able to help develop measures for the transport car manufacturing industries and policy makers for the driving industry to reduce ergonomic risk of low back pain (LBP).
