Abstract

The present research was carried out in the workers of Duramas, Distablasa and Vitefama in the city of Cuenca, where the ergonomic study was carried out as a risk factor under the perspective of: Occupational Health, Safety and Hygiene Industrial. This approach defines the influence that this occupational risk exerts on musculoskeletal disorders and the frequent causes of exposure in the workplace.

The theoretical and legal framework on ergonomic risk was initially established, and the study methodology and the sample to be studied were later described. We then proceeded to describe the population and area studied. Within the Industrial Hygiene, an initial evaluation of ergonomic risk factors was carried out and finally the existence of overexposure to forced positions and manual lifting of loads in the companies under study was determined, through the ergonomic study of the collaborators, the great incidence of healthy personnel, and finally the control measures to be implemented emphasized the reality discovered in the present study, which included changes in procedures, good work practices, training plans and personnel training among others.
