Evaluación de riesgos ergonómicos en entornos de trabajo industrial, diseño de medidas de prevención y control para mitigar sus efectos en la salud de los trabajadores

Abstract

Abstract: In the industrial work environments of SELVEST CIA. LTDA., workers are exposed to ergonomic risk factors such as manual handling of loads, awkward postures, and repetitive movements, which increase the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue, and stress. The absence of adequate ergonomic prevention and control plan aggravates this situation, raising the risk of accidents and affecting the health of employees. These working conditions not only harm the well-being of the staff, but also negatively impact the productivity and operational costs of the company, resulting in absenteeism and a decrease in overall performance; in light of this issue, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the specific ergonomic risks of the industrial environment, in order to propose preventive measures that mitigate their effects on the health of the workers.
