Ergonomic evaluation in the ecuadorian workplace

Abstract:

In Ecuador, ergonomic risk is present in all types of work activity. 1759 ergonomic evaluations were carried out between 2012 and 2017 applying methodologies validated and used worldwide. The results establish that more than 90% of jobs have an unacceptable level of ergonomic risk which determines that technical and organizational corrective measures must be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk and avoid a high incidence of musculoskeletal problems in the working population of the country.
