Resumen
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el factor de riesgo ergonómico presente en las actividades de manipulación de carga el área de corte de una empresa de fabricación de plásticos, con esto presentar una propuesta de implementación para minimizar el riesgo de lumbalgia por manipulación de cargas a los trabajadores de esta área. El estudio parte de los reportes mensuales de morbilidad que presenta el medico ocupacional en las reuniones con la alta dirección de la empresa donde da a conocer la mayor concurrencia del personal de corte al dispensario médico con afecciones lumbares. Para determinar que metodología se usaría en realizar la evaluación ergonómica, se realizó una encuesta aplicando el cuestionario Nórdico de Kuorinka que es un cuestionario estandarizado para la detección y análisis de síntomas musculo esquelético, con el fin de detectar en que parte del miembro superior (cuello, hombros, codos, muñeca-manos, cuello-espalda) han sentido mayor dolencia; para determinar el índice de levantamiento de carga, se utilizó la Guía técnica para la manipulación manual de cargas del INSHT; En la misma se determinó que peso real de la carga es mayor al peso aceptable, por tal motivo el riesgo presente es no tolerable.
This study aims to evaluate the ergonomic risk factor present in activities of cargo handling in the cutting area of a manufacturing plastics company. Having this antecedent, it is appropiate to propose an implementation to minimize the risk of back pain suffered by cargo handling workers in this area. This research is based con monthly morbidity reports presented by the occupational physician in meeting with the senior management of the company which introduces greater competition cutting staff dispensary with lumbar medical conditions. To determine which methodology was used to carry out the evaluation, a survey was used to carry out the evaluation, a survey was applied taking in to account the Kuotinka Nordie question naire which is a standardized method to detect and analyze skeletal muscle symptoms, in order to know where in the upper limb (neck shoulder, elbow, wrist-hands, neck-back) have felt more ailment; to determine the load lifting index, the technical guide for manual load handling INSHT was used. In this guide, it was determined the real weight of the load is greater than the acceptable weight. There fore this risk is not tolerable.
