Evaluación del riesgo ergonómico en el sector de la construcción en trabajadores de la Construcción del Puente de H.A.

Abstract

Abstract: The execution of work activities -according to their nature- can adopt forced postures and manipulation of loads catalogued as high risk for the worker. These factors are potentially dangerous and can generate affectations and/or injuries both at skeletal and muscular level. Thus, it becomes necessary to evaluate these tasks in order to determine the level of risk at the time of performing them. It is proposed, by applying the REBA method, to evaluate the postures of the upper and lower extremities, neck and trunk, in order to identify the possible ergonomic risks to which workers are exposed. By means of the present work we seek, after the application of the evaluation, to know which postures cause muscular and skeletal affectations and if these have an implication with the handling of loads and postures executed by the workers. With the results obtained, an intervention is proposed in order to mitigate the risks by means of action protocols to guarantee the adequate development of the work activities.
