The main objective of this research work was to propose actions for the prevention of occupational risks in teachers of the Mathius Quintanilla Sierra Educational Unit in the city of Portoviejo, through the use of evaluation instruments such as the questionnaire of the Ministry of Labor applied to measure psychosocial risks which consists of 58 questions that are subdivided into 8 dimensions and the Nordic Kourinka questionnaire, used in the context of ergonomic studies applied to determine and analyze musculoskeletal symptoms, these were applied to 45 teachers in total. The results of the different risk factors present for each dimension of the study were analyzed, selecting the risks that scored with the highest prevalence of generating difficulties specified as high risk, i.e. that could cause damage to the teacher's health, both in psychosocial and ergonomic factors. Once the results were analyzed, it was possible to proceed to the elaboration of the plan of proposals for the prevention of these risks aimed at preventing or mitigating the different risks that could have an impact on the poor work performance of teachers.
