Resumen

Introduction: The need to store water so that it is available when required necessitates the maintenance of the containers used for storage; consequently, the cleaning process involves various tasks that workers must carry out, exposing them to various types of occupational risks, including ergonomic hazards and their risk factors. Objective: To explore the possible relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and maintenance technicians working on water tanks.  Method: A descriptive and correlational study. The research includes 10 maintenance technicians, who will be asked to complete a sociodemographic questionnaire; their working methods will be observed in accordance with ISO TR 12295 to rapidly identify and assess the ergonomic hazards to which they are exposed. Similarly, the Latino questionnaire will be administered and the results analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.  Progress: To date, a number of ergonomic hazards and their risk factors have been identified, such as postural overload, lifting loads, pushing and pulling loads, and work involving repetitive strain.  Expected results: It is hoped to identify the activities involving the greatest physical exertion and to establish the relationship between these factors and the presence of disorders.
