Programa de capacitación para la prevención de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en miembros superiores en el personal de servicios generales del convento avemaría

Abstract

In this research, a training program for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in upper limbs is designed in the general services staff of the Ave Maria convent; The proposal was made under the constant reports of musculoskeletal symptoms by general services personnel due to the characteristics of the tasks they perform during their working hours. During the investigation, an analysis is carried out with the updated hazard matrix; where the risk factors and dangers to which workers are exposed are described; and according to the literature how these are related to musculoskeletal symptoms; In addition, the lack of implementation of control measures to mitigate them is evident. This is how the need arises to propose a series of trainings such as: active breaks, a physical conditioning program, training on manual handling of loads and training on postural hygiene / stress injuries; to act on the biomechanical risk factor that is the most predominant in the organization, to generate musculoskeletal discomfort.
