Abstract

Abstract: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent one of the primary occupational health issues among administrative workers. The objective of this research was to evaluate the ergonomic risks present in the administrative department of the company Industrias LogiPack S.A. The study employed a quantitative approach, a descriptive and diagnostic scope, an applied research nature, a nonexperimental design, and a cross-sectional study format. The population consisted of 20 administrative workers. Data collection methods included direct observation, the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire, the RULA, REBA, and OWAS assessment methods, and an ergonomic checklist. The results showed that 80% of the workers experienced discomfort in the neck, 60% in the lower back, 55% in the wrists, and 50.0% in the shoulders. Additionally, discomfort was reported in the upper back (40.0%), knees (20.0%), ankles/feet (15.0%), and elbows (10.0%). It is concluded that administrative workstations present ergonomic risk factors that contribute to the development of MSDs. An ergonomic intervention plan is proposed, aimed at improving working conditions, strengthening prevention efforts, and promoting occupational health and safety.
