Evaluación de riesgo ergonómico a través de la metodología REBA enfocado en las empresas dedicadas en el servicio petrolero

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration project focuses on the ergonomic risk assessment of workers in an oil services company, using the REBA methodology. This tool allows for the identification of awkward postures and physical exertion through ergonomics, enabling the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in the company, which provides pipeline support in the oil sector. Within this company, there are various job positions, so the approach will involve a detailed analysis of the different work activities, applying on-site observations and photographic records for postural analysis and final evaluation. Each posture will be evaluated in relation to the position or activity performed. The results do not demonstrate the level of risk associated with each job position in static postures, such as those related to handling loads or tools. Therefore, based on the findings, recommendations are proposed to improve working conditions, such as redesigning workstations. Implementation or standardization of active breaks and preventive training such as postural hygiene, promoting a safer and healthier work environment, which in this thesis is to raise awareness about the importance of ergonomics as prevention in occupational risks.
