Evaluación ergonómica para levantamiento de cargas basado en la norma 11228-1 en la marmolería Nuestra señora de la nube"

Abstract

Abstract: The following ergonomic evaluation at the marble workshop Nuestra Señora de la Nube, located in the Azuay province, Cuenca canton, Sinincay parish, aims to conduct a Manual Load Handling study. This study will provide detailed information on each activity performed to establish strategies that help prevent musculoskeletal or lower back injuries among the workshop workers. For the project development, a quantitative technique was chosen, allowing for data collection such as postures, weights, and transport distances, as well as the observation of how manual load lifting is performed in each work activity. This enables analysis and corrective action. Through the respective analysis, it was determined to create a Load Lifting Manual for subsequent socialization with the workers of the Nuestra Señora de la Nube marble workshop. The goal is to define processes to foster a culture of prevention and awareness throughout the artisan workshop, optimizing resources to prevent labor absenteeism.
