Abstract
COHEN PADILLA, Harold; CARRILLO LANDAZABAL, Martha and BEDOYA MARRUGO, Elías. Analysis of the ergonomie impact associated with cargo handling in drilling equipment workers in the oil sector. Nova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.34, pp.109-124. Epub Jan 04, 2021. ISSN 1794-2470. https://doi.org/10.22490/24629448.3923.
The current world and the tendencies of universalization of processes that occur through globalization, the opening of markets, internationalization, competition and all the new situations that business development brings every day make processes must be more efficient and risks, with which there are risks associated with activities that involve physical exertion and therefore a possible musculoskeletal injury.
Objective.
Analyze the relationships identified between the negative impact tasks and the ergonomic variables associated with cargo handling, by using the REBA and RULA assessment tools so that risk factors are identified by Drilling & Well workers Services, especially wedges and pollsters of an oil company.
Materials and methods.
The research is descriptive, since it represents an experimental analysis that aims to establish the initial conditions and determine the way in which a particular circumstance is manifested by identifying the characteristic features of the operation.
Results.
There were activities such as lifting and positioning the wedge, moving the drill pipe, releasing or adjusting the power keys and adjusting the arms of the elevators to close and with it controlling the drill pipe, as the most important risk actions in the operations of the wedges and operators.
Keywords : Biomechanics; cargo; operator; oil.
