Evaluación del riesgo ergonómico en los trabajadores de oficina de gobierno autónomo descentralizado municipal colimes

Abstract

The main purpose of this research was to conduct a comprehensive ergonomic evaluation of office workers within the Decentralized Autonomous Municipal Government of Colimes. To achieve this, deductive and bibliographic research methods were employed, supplemented by a field study that provided crucial insights for the evaluation. The results were structured into three main components: firstly, the characterization of activities carried out by the personnel in their work environment; secondly, the identification of various ergonomic risks present in the workplace; and thirdly, the assessment of these risks using both the RULA and ROSA methods, in addition to conducting a survey among the workers to determine their level of knowledge about these risks. The analyses revealed a level of risk amenable to improvements through the ROSA method, while the RULA method indicated a level 3 risk, suggesting the need for a more detailed evaluation and the implementation of potential changes. As part of the proposed corrective actions, it was suggested to enhance the postural hygiene of workers and introduce active breaks with a series of exercises aimed at preventing musculoskeletal injuries. These measures seek not only to mitigate the identified ergonomic risks but also to improve the overall health and well-being of employees in their work environment.
