    This work evaluates the level of risk that usually the welders, assemblers, painters and helpers assume while working in the workshops where metal structures are built, as well as in the places where those structures are finally assemble. This research provides information on the current situation of workers, providing a systematic and structured description of the type of ergonomic risks to which they are exposed in their daily activities, access to the systems of protection and finally the record of health and safety concerns as a result of exposure to these risks. Videos and photographs of tasks have been analyzed under the Checklist OCRA Methodology, and the most frequent task on daily activities was also analyzed under RULA and REBA methods. All images were analyzed by using the KINOVEA and ERGOFELLOW software. Administrative and engineering measures are proposed in such a way that diseases related to ergonomic conditions that can reach a skeletal muscular system can be avoided.
