Factores de riesgo ergonómico y su relación con dolor musculoesquelético de columna vertebral: basado en la primera encuesta nacional de condiciones de empleo, equidad, trabajo, salud y calidad de vida de los trabajadores y trabajadoras en Chile (ENETS) 2009-2010

spinal pain is a major health problem in the working population, attributed to individual factors and conditions factors. this study sought to determine the influence of exposure to ergonomic risk factors during working hours on the presence of musculoskeletal pain in the spine. the data in this study originated from the results obtained enets aimed at chilean workforce. we concluded that ergonomic risk factors that best explain the risk of spinal pain were "repetitive motion" (or 1.34, ci: 1.08-1.65) followed by "body vibration" (or: 1.28, ci: 1.04-1.58). regarding the outcome of the study, you should review the policies in relation to occupational health and safety and current legislation related to musculoskeletal problems. these should focus on the accommodation ergonomic workstation in order to reduce the impact caused by repeated exposure to factors such as load handling, awkward postures and repetitive body movements and the cumulative effect from previous work.
