In this sense, this research seeks to perform a study of the working population of the operational area, detect failures in the facilities that can speed up the appearance of disorders and / or cumulative diseases in the personnel and prioritize the area where workers are at a higher level of risk. Once those critical activities have been identified, the appropriate ergonomic evaluation methodologies will be applied, obtaining a series of results that serve as a basis for the formulation of recommendations and / or controls, so that a preventive intervention is achieved, favoring the health of the working population in the medium and long term.
