Evaluación de riesgos laborales en oficinas administrativas de Tungurahua y Cotopaxi de la Dirección Zonal 3 del Ministerio del Ambiente, Agua y Transición Ecológica

Abstract

Abstract: To carry out this degree work, the current situation of the administrative positions in the Technical Offices of Ambato and Latacunga was analyzed using a checklist, which allowed us to determine that the physical space, furniture and the layout of the equipment do not favor an adequate posture in the workers. Subsequently, the ROSA and RULA OFFICE methods, recognized tools in ergonomics for assessing postural risks, were applied.. The ROSA method yielded final scores of 8.6, and 7, indicating a very high risk level, while the RULA OFFICE method yielded final scores of 7 for all those assessed, confirming the need for immediate corrective action. n addition, a comparative analysis was conducted with two thesis projects, which determined that repetitive movements and awkward postures can negatively impact health and job performance. Based on the results, preventive measures were proposed, suggesting that managers in charge of the administrative offices take appropriate corrective measures and improve the work environment.
