Evaluación y control de riesgos ergonómicos aplicando el método ROSA a los trabajadores administrativos y REBA en el taller municipal del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del cantón Penipe

Abstract

The purpose of this degree project called “EVALUACIÓN Y CONTROL DE RIESGOS ERGONÓMICOS APLICANDO EL MÉTODO ROSA A LOS TRABAJADORES ADMINISTRATIVOS Y REBA EN EL TALLER MUNICIPAL DEL GOBIERNO AUTÓNOMO DESCENTRALIZADO DEL CANTÓN PENIPE” was to identify and provide a solution to the ergonomic risks that workers are prone to musculoskeletal injuries. For the development of the evaluation and control of risks, the Kuorinka questionnaire was initially applied to both administrative and workshop workers, to identify the ailments and know the time that they have been present; then, all workers were evaluated in their daily actions, thus identifying the risks that are present in their jobs. To carry out this task, the ROSA methodology was used, which is quite adequate to evaluate the office positions, in this case it was very useful to evaluate the workers of the administrative building; and the REBA methodology, used to analyze the extremities of the body, in the same way this was useful to evaluate the workers of the municipal workshop. Based on the results obtained, an ergonomic guide was prepared to mitigate the ergonomic risks found, which indicates a group of active breaks that must be taken throughout the workday at certain time intervals, as well as the correct postures when performing activities with the use of office equipment and field activities. It was suggested that the safety technician make the ergonomic guides available to each of the workers so that they have better knowledge of how to perform active breaks, with all the above mentioned it is expected to reduce the risks in GADCP workers.
