Identificación de riesgo ergonómico en usuarios de pantallas de visualización de datos en condiciones laborales de teletrabajo de la empresa Inmocastela

Abstract

Objectives. Identify the ergonomic risk in data display screens users in teleworking. Determine the ergonomic conditions of a group of workers in home office. Method. The scope will be an exploratory study through the application of a survey of ergonomic conditions. The questionnaire will be sent to each of the workers who telework at Inmocastela Company in order to collect information of the space and work environment, the equipment they use, and the organization and control of their work routine. Results. The most relevant ergonomic conditions determine that the area of the house most used for teleworking is the bedroom. 86.80% of employees use laptops but only 25% use a separate keyboard and mouse. Only 41% of workers take breaks within their working hours, with an average time of 5 to 10 minutes each break. The lack of concentration and discomfort of 73.50% of the workers results in them preferring to go back to the office and not do telework anymore. Conclusion. Telework demands adequate ergonomic conditions for its execution; technical and organizational deficiencies have been observed that must be managed to reduce visual, musculoskeletal and mental fatigue produced by the prolonged use of data display screens and the forced postures adopted.
