<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objectives: </strong>This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the ergonomic behaviors order to select the best work shift group in an Iranian petrochemical Company, in 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods:</strong> The methodology was based on the Ergonomic Behavior Sampling (EBS), and performed using ELECTRE method. In this study 1147 behaviors were observed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results:</strong> The results indicated that 43.6% of workers’ behaviors were unergonomic. The most frequent unergonomic behavior was amusing of legs while load lifting with 83.01% of total unergonomic behaviors observations. Using ELECTRE method, most effective shift group and least attractive alternatives for intervention were selected in the company.</p>
