Estudio del impacto de las pausas activas y la ergonomía en la reducción de accidentes laborales dentro de una empresa de construcción mediante la aplicación del test de Burnout

Abstract

Abstract: The study on the impact of active breaks was conducted in the construction department of a private construction company based in Guayaquil, with the aim of assessing the presence of burnout syndrome in construction workers, as well as assessing potential ergonomic risks related to repetitive movements and forced postures during concrete breaking activities using mechanical or manual tools, and the impact of passive breaks and rotation of activities among staff, which are already implemented within the workday. The development of the research was carried out using quantitative techniques, allowing for data collection. Through observation, postures, rest times, and staff rotation were analyzed in activities within the workday, allowing for the analysis and taking of concrete actions such as the development of a manual for passive and complementary breaks due to the lack of standardization of compensatory times or breaks already applied within work activities, in order to generate a culture of prevention among all staff to prevent possible musculoskeletal injuries and psychosocial impacts.
