Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the association between ergonomic hazards and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in molding workers in Mexico City. This was carried out through a quantitative and cross-sectional study involving 66 workers, using socio-occupational questionnaires and the OCRACheck methodology. Through this, the ergonomic hazard and its risk factors of repetitive movements were identified, especially in deburring, showing a significant correlation between the activity, seniority, and MSDs in the upper extremities and spine. This statistically significant association makes it essential to implement ergonomic health programs, personnel rotation, and workstation redesign.
