Evaluación del riesgo ergonómico en el sector de la construcción en trabajadores de Construtec Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: The present research work is developed analyzing the ergonomic risks to which the workers of the company Construtec have been exposed during the execution of a housing construction in Canton Guayaquil. Information is collected during the execution of the masonry task by observing 3 subtasks: mixing, filling joints and block placement, by recording videos and applying the Nordic questionnaire. The risk level assessment of the forced positions and postural load of 10 masons is carried out, applying the REBA and RULA methods, through the ErgoIA program, detecting that there is a Medium and Very High risk level. Through the demonstration and risk level measurement tables, the required level of action could be obtained in each case. Finally, the preventive measures that Construtec will adopt are developed with the aim of controlling the risks identified in its workers and implementing the necessary action measures, and adopting an ergonomic risk prevention plan to prevent musculoskeletal disorders in its workers.
