Abstract

The main objective of this research is the ergonomic management of the workplaces of heavy equipment maintenance area in the hangars of Pastaza canton, based on the evaluation of ergonomic risks in each position implementing REBA and INSHT methodology, for which a total of 5 work areas were identified in which 31 people who perform administrative activities, carpentry, vulcanizing, lubrication and automotive and industrial mechanics work. Based on this research, the ergonomic risk level and the stipulated valuation according to the parameters of the previous methodologies were determined, obtaining as main result an evaluation of 10 points in the industrial mechanics position, 6 points in the automotive mechanics, 4 points in the vulcanizing and administrative areas and 3 points in the carpentry position according to REBA methodology. In addition, in the risk assessment for lifting loads for the vulcanizing and lubrication area, a Tolerable risk level was determined for the loads lifted according to INSHT method. In conclusion, it was determined that the most conflictive work position is the one performed by industrial mechanics, as it has a high risk level, that was the reason to implement procedures in the organization to carry out the correct lifting of loads, active breaks and to adopt appropriate body postures while performing their work activities. Finally, it is recommended to the organization the correct follow-up and compliance of the Training Program to the working employees in order to avoid the occurrence of occupational diseases or musculoskeletal injuries in the employees of the organization.
