Gestión de riesgos biomecánicos en obras de construcción utilizando Sistemas de Información Geográfica

Abstract

The next research focused on the development of a tool that contributes to the management of biomechanical risk in the construction sector, which allows an initial assessment of this type of risk. The starting point was the systematic review of the literature to establish the ergonomic evaluation methods that allowed selecting an ergonomic evaluation tool for an initial phase of the study and the Nordic Questionnaire to identify musculoskeletal symptoms. This made it possible to develop a survey in the Survey 123 Software that is part of ArcGis, which is a geographic information system. This data collection tool is based on the Nordic Questionnaire, in which the identification of the work areas, the activities carried out on site and the identification of musculoskeletal symptoms were incorporated, resulting in a questionnaire that evaluates in one phase. initial assessment of ergonomic risk in workplaces. One of the goals of the project was to develop questionnaires in a dynamic and easy-to-understand way for workers in the construction sector; Through this, the geographical location of the worker can be located, in addition, in terms of data collection, it is done quickly, since mobile devices are used in the field for each worker. The tool can be used in any construction site, allowing companies to carry out control over the identification of musculoskeletal symptoms in workers and the initial assessment of ergonomic risk at any time and in any place supported by its spatial location.
