Abstract

This research work focuses on evaluating ergonomic risks in cleaning workers in the facilities of the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of Portoviejo, in order to identify improvements and propose an intervention plan to optimize the work performance of the cleaning staff. The GADM of the canton of Portoviejo coordinates actions with social sectors to meet its objectives, according to the Constitution and the Land Management Law. A cleaning team is made up of a group of individuals or alternatively by a specific person, these personnel are responsible for carrying out cleaning and maintenance tasks that ensure the proper hygiene of the facilities. Taking into account the daily activities contemplated in the working hours of the cleaning workers in the facilities of the GADM of Portoviejo, it is important to evaluate the current state in order to examine their conditions. The study method chosen to carry out the evaluation of ergonomic risks is the REBA method, which consists of developing a system of postural analysis for forced postures in a variety of tasks. This research yielded results that concluded that the cleaning staff is confronted with several ergonomic risk factors that include forced postures and require immediate action of preventive measures.
