Resumen
Los choferes al realizar sus diferentes actividades se exponen a diferentes riesgos
laborales, entre ellos los ergonómicos que pueden producirle trastornos músculo –
esqueléticos, reduciendo su productividad dentro de sus labores. Por estas razones, el
objetivo de la presente investigación fue estudiar los riesgos ergonómicos y su
incidencia en el rendimiento laboral de los choferes de la compañía de transporte de
productos acuícolas TRACOPESA S.A. Para su cumplimiento se aplicó una
metodología descriptiva – exploratoria donde se utilizó el método REBA y un
cuestionario para determinar el rendimiento laboral, siendo la muestra de estudio igual
a 20 choferes. A partir de lo anterior, se obtuvo como resultado que los choferes se
encuentran expuestos a un nivel medio de riesgos ergonómicos, siendo principalmente
afectados en sus brazos, antebrazos y muñecas a causa de las posturas inadecuadas y
movimientos repetitivos. Además, el rendimiento laboral fue regular de forma general,
mientras que la correlación entre las variables fue positiva, por lo tanto, una variable
influye en la otra. El estudio concluye mencionando que a raíz de los resultados
obtenido se deben reducir los riesgos ergonómicos para mejorar el rendimiento laboral
mediante medidas preventivas y correctivas.
Drivers when carrying out their different activities are exposed to different occupational risks, including ergonomic ones that can cause musculoskeletal disorders, reducing their productivity within their work. For these reasons, the objective of this research was to study ergonomic risks and their impact on the work performance of the drivers of the transport company for aquaculture products TRACOPESA S.A. To comply with it, a descriptive-exploratory methodology was applied where the REBA method and a questionnaire were used to determine job performance, the study sample being equal to 20 drivers. From the above, it was obtained as a result that drivers are exposed to a medium level of ergonomic risks, being mainly affected in their arms, forearms and wrists due to inappropriate postures and repetitive movements. In addition, job performance was generally regular, while the correlation between the variables was positive, therefore, one variable influences the other. The study concludes by mentioning that as a result of the results obtained, ergonomic risks should be reduced to improve work performance through preventive and corrective measures.
