Resumen
The objective of this work was to evaluate the ergonomic risks in the Vera Artistic Locksmith
Company using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method for the production area and
the Rapid Ofice Strain Assessment (ROSA) method for the administrative area, which developed
a methodology based on the analysis of the different situations that could affect the workers in
the company. On the one hand, the reasoning was used with the aim of drawing logical
conclusions, and gradually identifying the root problem, in order to apply the different methods
of measuring ergonomic risks, which focused on the prior and subjective detection of the
presented factors of impairment of the musculoskeletal system in each worker by the parameters
of the Nordic Kuorinka questionnaire. On the other hand, the camera was used to obtain
photographic recordings and video recordings of the different workplaces to identify postures and
movements leading to ergonomic risks from the application of the questionnaire. In addition, in
cooperation with 100% of the workers and using the RULA and ROSA methodology, the seven
workers in the production area were evaluated. Finally, a "very high" level of risk was detected
in the dispatcher, who represents 14% while performing the oxy-cutting activity. In conclusion,
an ergonomic risk prevention plan was prepared for the personnel of Vera Artistic Locksmith,
which includes a guide for active brcaks and a proposal for improvement of the workstations. It
is recommended to constantly monitor the workplaces to ensure that the prevention and health
and safety measures are fully respected by the workers.
