Occupations that needs standing for longer interval are often associated with an increased risk of low back pain. A security guard's duty is one of the jobs that may be associated with a high association of low back pain. An observational study was carried out to determine the frequency of low back pain in security guards of bus rapid transit (BRT) service in Peshawar. The duration of the research study was six months, and the data was collected using Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire. The sample size calculated for the research study was 292. A convenience sampling technique was used in this study. The results showed a very high frequency and severity of low back pain amongst security guards of BRT service Peshawar. It was also observed that most of the security guards had to stand for prolonged durations as part of their job requirements.
