Evaluación de factores de riesgos ergonómicos en la empresa de Bolos el Titi

Abstract

Ergonomics is a discipline that has developed over the years with the aim of improving the safety and efficiency of workers in the workplace. In the work environment, ergonomics is fundamental as it has a direct impact on the health of workers. It allows to organize a workplace, adjusting the physical and mental capabilities and limitations of people, such as musculoskeletal damage, inadequate postures, repetitive movements and movements with heavy loads. In the case of the bowling company "El Titi", workers often report musculoskeletal problems and fatigue. The presence of these ergonomic risks indicates a lack of adequate assessment, which is a significant problem. Through proper assessment, it is possible to observe and seek to prevent occupational injuries and improve efficiency by identifying the ergonomic risk factors that are present in the work area and which workers are exposed to this risk. To address this problem, it is proposed to carry out an assessment to identify risk factors and develop strategies to mitigate them through a solution to the specific needs of the workplace. This assessment will be carried out using different methods and techniques, including direct observation, interviews, questionnaires, and the use of photographs and videos to document working conditions and workers' postures. The results of this assessment will not only contribute to academic knowledge, but will also have practical benefits for Bolos El Titi and its workers. By identifying and mitigating ergonomic risks, we can improve working conditions, reduce occupational injuries, and increase productivity. This study has the potential to have a significant impact both academically and practically. This study provides a detailed assessment of the ergonomic risks in the bowling company "El Titi" and proposes a risk plan to mitigate these risks which allows us to mitigate the ergonomic risks present.
