Se presenta un estudio enfocado en el rediseño ergonómico de una estación de trabajo en una planta automotriz, bajo los lineamientos de la norma mexicana NOM-036-STPS-2018, relativa al manejo manual de cargas. Se utilizaron herramientas de análisis como RULA, REBA, Sue Rodgers y la ecuación NIOSH para identificar posturas críticas y cargas físicas asociadas a la manipulación de material (tanques de combustible), considerando factores como fuerza aplicada, frecuencia y duración de la actividad. Se logró impactar positivamente en la reducción de riesgos ergonómicos, así como en la prevención de trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) entre los trabajadores. Los resultados evidenciaron la necesidad de incorporar soluciones y ayudas ergonómicas específicas para la estación de trabajo, las cuales reducen o eliminan la carga manual directa. Además, los estudios de gasto calórico y RAPP Tool confirmaron que las tareas pueden realizarse dentro de los márgenes de seguridad física permitidos. El rediseño de la secuencia de trabajo no impacta únicamente el cumplimiento de la normativa vigente, también promueve un ambiente de trabajo más seguro, minimizando el riesgo de lesiones e incrementando la eficiencia operativa.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Ergonomics has gained increasing relevance in modern industry as a key tool for optimizing workplace well-being and productivity. This study presents an ergonomic redesign of a workstation in an automotive manufacturing plant, conducted in accordance with the Mexican standard NOM-036-STPS-2018, which addresses manual load handling. Analytical tools such as RULA, REBA, Sue Rodgers&#8217; method, and the NIOSH equation were employed to identify critical postures and physical loads associated with material handling (specifically, fuel tanks), taking into account factors such as applied force, frequency, and task duration. The intervention had a positive impact on reducing ergonomic risks and preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers. The findings highlighted the necessity of implementing specific ergonomic solutions and assistive devices at the workstation to reduce or eliminate direct manual load handling. Furthermore, caloric expenditure assessments and the RAPP Tool confirmed that the tasks can be performed within acceptable physical safety thresholds. The redesign of the work sequence not only ensures compliance with current regulations but also fosters a safer working environment by minimizing the risk of injury and enhancing operational efficiency.]]></p></abstract>
