Identificación y evaluación de factores de riesgos mecánicos y ergonómicos de los bodegueros de la empresa Car Soundvision Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) represent one of the main causes of work related diseases, which is why their study is increasingly frequent and important. Various types of tools have been developed and processes have been standardized in the search to reduce the impact of work activities on the health of workers, particularly in the field of ergonomics. The objective of this research work is to identify and evaluate the mechanical and ergonomic risk factors in the winemakers of the company Car Soundvision Cía. Ltda. The study is descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental and with a quantitative approach, in which standardized instruments were applied to measure the exposure of workers to mechanical and ergonomic risk factors, such as: triple criteria matrix, NIOSH and RULA methods, Snook and Ciriello tables, and William Fine method. Among the main results, it was obtained that the winemakers are exposed to various ergonomic and mechanical risks, due to the lifting of manual loads. The study allowed to conclude that entrapment by or between objects is a risk factor and represents a high degree of danger in product storage and dispatch tasks, while also repetitive tasks and forced positions increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury
