Abstract: La investigación tuvo como propósito evaluar los principales riesgos musculo-esqueléticos en los trabajadores de un taller de mecánica automotriz de Lima, Perú a través, de un Análisis Ergonómico. Es un estudio de caso con un alcance exploratorio-descriptivo y un enfoque mixto, desarrollado en uno de los talleres de mecánica automotriz más grandes del Perú. Para la identificación de la incidencia de las molestias músculo esqueléticas de los mecánicos se aplicó: El cuestionario Nórdico, el método OWAS y la ecuación de NIOSH. Los resultados muestran áreas que requieren medidas correctivas inmediatas, así como el existente riesgo de problemas musculoesqueléticos como una lumbalgia o el síndrome cervical. El cuestionario Nórdico identificó la parte baja de la espalda del cuerpo con mayor incidencia de malestar; mediante la metodología OWAS, se categorizó que un 50% de las posturas en el área de pintado requieren prontas medidas correctivas, finalmente la aplicación de NIOSH permitió cuantificar el peso máximo recomendado a levantar en determinadas tareas, evidenciando un riesgo de lumbalgias o problemas de espalda.
The purpose of the research was to evaluate the main musculoskeletal risks in the workers of an automotive mechanic workshop in Lima, Peru, through an Ergonomic Analysis. It is a case study with an exploratory-descriptive scope and a mixed approach, developed in one of the largest automotive mechanic workshops in Peru. To identify the incidence of musculoskeletal discomfort among mechanics, the Nordic questionnaire, the OWAS method and the NIOSH equation were applied. The results show areas requiring immediate corrective measures, as well as the existing risk of musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain or cervical syndrome. The Nordic questionnaire identified the lower back with the highest incidence of discomfort; by means of the OWAS methodology, it was categorized that 50% of the postures in the painting area require prompt corrective measures; finally, the application of NIOSH allowed quantifying the maximum recommended weight to be lifted in certain tasks, showing a risk of low back pain or back problems.
