Abstract
Nowadays ergonomics is very important to study the relationship that the employee has with the workplace, because it depends on a healthy environment avoiding discomfort and diseases, mainly generated by incorrect posture, affecting the employee’s quality of life and organizational productivity. Thus, this research aims to analyze the different aspects that influence working conditions by applying an ergonomic checklist of 128 factors grouped into 10 areas to a gas station, in conjunction with the use and development of Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) methods, Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) and the Nordic questionnaire, these being observational procedures on the different positions adopted by the worker, in order to select practical solutions to problems or specific risk agents becoming corrective actions that help improve the workplace.
