Abstract

The recent study has the purpose of knowing the real situation in which they are committed to the farmers of the farm Jhon Mar, with respect to the ergonomic conditions in each one of the jobs and the positions that normally adopt to operate.

The research requires a series of steps involving important methods such as the survey, observation and interview focusing on the postures of each individual grower using the ERIN method (Individual Risk Assessment), Assessing the level of postural risk in each occupation and at the same time provide knowledge about ergonomics at work and do things possible if they fail to take appropriate measures as well as instruct them in musculoskeletal disorders (TME) that can present a future. The evaluation questionnaire was applied to 17 farmers, who identified that most of the peasants have been engaged in agriculture since young people, being the part of the body most affected by the trunk, so they carry out the activity of planting Adopt Inappropriate postures such as squatting and crouching, were also filmed to each operator to clearly observe the movements that make them perform their work. According to the responses, the views were evaluated and the conclusions drawn. The impromptu talk of ergonomic risk prevention helped farmers take proper precautions and promote self-care, preventing ergonomic hazards and their possible diseases. Comply with one of the objectives of ergonomics that is to improve the life capacity of the individual at work
