The manual transport of loads is a very common feature in construction and may reflect effects on the health of workers and low back pain. This work was carried out through field research where it was held was verified the different tasks carried out by construction helper on different days, times and situations from behavioral observations, gestures, communication in the workplace, displacements, adopted positions, strategies used and the skills that the construction helper use to the development of their work and the problems faced during the process of implementation of activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of low back pain associated with manual transport of loads in construction helper. Through this work it was possible to conduct a case study using an ergonomic analysis of work trying to propose measures to reduce the risk of low back pain development in construction.
