Estudio comparativo entre aplicativos ErgoIBV y ErgoIA como herramientas de evaluación de riesgos ergonómicos para posturas forzadas aplicando el método REBA en el sector de la construcción

Abstract

Abstract: This research addressed the comparative study of the ErgoIBV and ErgoIA applications as ergonomic risk assessment tools for awkward postures, applying the REBA method in the construction sector. This is because awkward postures in construction generate significant ergonomic risks, and there is no comparative evidence between these applications for their proper implementation. The main objective was to conduct a comparative analysis of the applications for awkward postures in the construction sector, applying the REBA method. A mixed methodology with cross-sectional analysis was used with a sample of 20 workers. The information was obtained through direct observation and a structured survey, and statistically processed to evaluate accuracy, ease of use, satisfaction, and cost-benefit. According to the analysis, it is concluded that the results were consistent and indicate that ERGOIBV is characterized by its technical and traditional approach with low cost per analysis, but longer intervention time, while ERGOIA is characterized by its automation and use of artificial intelligence, but at a high cost per analysis.
