Análisis de los programas de intervención ergonómica en la reducción de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores de oficina: una mirada a nivel mundial de los últimos 10 años
Cardozo Rojas Leidy Johana; Galeano Arias Tom Lester; Benitez Castiblanco Yeison
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major occupational health problem among office workers due to factors associated with prolonged postures, repetitive movements, and inadequate ergonomic conditions. These disorders have consequences for both the health of workers and organizations, reflected in increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, and higher costs associated with medical leave. This research aims to analyze ergonomic intervention programs implemented worldwide over the past ten years to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in office workers. To this end, a review and analysis of the available scientific literature is conducted, identifying the most frequently used intervention strategies, the results obtained, and the factors influencing their effectiveness in different organizational contexts. The findings reveal the main preventive actions applied in the workplace, as well as the strengths and limitations of the implemented programs. At the same time, practices that have proven to contribute to reducing biomechanical risk factors and strengthening a culture of prevention in organizations are identified.

Brayan Stiven Rodríguez González; Jhon Francísco Hernández Jiménez; Yeni Piedad Pillimue Cruz; Zudelaine Marval Bermúdez; Diana Derly Bueno Castro
This research was conducted with 20 employees of the Juan Carlos Garzón Educational Center, who completed the FANTASTIC instrument to assess their healthy lifestyles and identify the areas requiring greater improvement. The objective was to develop a proposal for the design of a healthy lifestyle program for the employees. The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a descriptive and cross-sectional scope. The population consisted of 20 employees, representing the entire staff of the institution. The results showed an overall score of 74.9, corresponding to the “adequate, you are doing well” level; however, opportunities for improvement were identified in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and personality types. Based on these results, the healthy lifestyle program “Caring for Life at the Educational Center” was designed for implementation over a six-month period and included activities, indicators, resources, responsible personnel, and a schedule. As a dissemination strategy, a virtual booklet was developed to present the proposed activities in a clear and organized manner. It is concluded that, although the employees generally demonstrate an adequate level of healthy lifestyles, there are specific areas that require further improvement. Therefore, the proposed program constitutes a preventive strategy aimed at promoting employee participation, strengthening self-care, and encouraging the adoption of healthy habits in the workplace.
Factores biomecánicos asociados a trastornos musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores bajo modalidad de teletrabajo o trabajo híbrido en Colombia: revisión documental 2020-2026 / Biomechanical factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among teleworkers and hybrid workers in Colombia: a documentary review, 2020–2026
Bonilla Vallejo Jhon Bernardo; Mur Guzmán Katherine Johana; Diana Carolina Rodriguez Romero
This literature review monograph aims to analyze the biomechanical factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Colombian workers engaged in telework or hybrid work arrangements, based on literature published between 2020 and 2026. Interest in this topic arises from the changes in work organization that followed the COVID-19 pandemic, a period characterized by the increased adoption of remote working arrangements supported by information and communication technologies. Although these arrangements facilitated the continuity of work activities, they also transferred part of the working environment to employees’ homes or alternative locations, where suitable workstations for prolonged computer use are not always available. The study will employ a qualitative documentary research approach involving the systematic search, selection, critical appraisal, classification, and interpretation of scientific, technical, regulatory, and institutional sources. The review will focus on workers in Colombia whose job duties, including management and service-related activities, are performed predominantly through the use of computers. The analysis will address biomechanical factors affecting the work environment, such as prolonged sitting, sustained awkward postures, and static muscular load resulting from the intensive use of digital tools. It will also examine the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in critical body regions, including the cervical and lumbar areas and the upper limbs. Beyond merely compiling information, this monograph seeks to organize the current body of knowledge, identify patterns and gaps in the Colombian scientific literature, and provide a foundation for strengthening prevention models within the field of Occupational Safety and Health.

Arenas Martínez Laura Marcela; Medina Rueda Jeimmy Lorena; Castillo Torres Sandra Doly; Diana Derly Bueno Castro
The objective of this undergraduate thesis was to develop an intervention proposal by conducting a compliance and conformity assessment of the OHSMS at SHINEMA S.A.S. against the requirements established in the ISO 45001:2018 standard, with aim of supporting the company's certification process. The study was carried out using a descriptive approach, based on qualitative research and a case study methodology. The primary data collection instrument was a compliance checklist developed according to the requirements of the ISO 45001:2018 standard. The assessment revealed an overall compliance level of 72.5%. Based on this diagnosis, gaps were identified, enabling development of an action plan aimed at reducing non-compliance with the requirements of ISO 45001:2018. Additionally, a corporate infographic was delivered to the company as a communication tool for interested parties. The infographic presents the assessment results, the proposed action plan, and the importance of ISO 45001:2018 certification, with the purpose of promoting awareness and strengthening the organization's preventive safety culture.

Análisis de las Estrategias de Mitigación del Riesgo Psicosocial en Teletrabajadores Administrativos en Colombia (2020–2026)
Lopez Ochoa John Andres; Puentes Paya Maricel; Herrera Ortega Veronica; Nancy Ximena Guevara Guevara
This monograph has as its main objective to analyze the Colombian legislation, technical guides and scientific literature published in a specific period between 2020 and 2026 on the management of psychosocial risk in administrative workers under the modality of telework. The study suggests that after the COVID-19 pandemic, this type of work modality had a significant increase in Colombian workers, leading us to an urgent need to identify strategies that contribute to the protection of mental health and the strengthening of the Occupational Safety Management System (SG-SST). The findings show that, although Colombia has a normative framework regulating telework and psychosocial risk management, gaps persist in the application of specific instruments to assess the risks arising from this type of work, such as self-assessment questionnaires, psychosocial assessments, interviews and remote observation. Some of the main factors are: social isolation, work overload, hyper-connectivity, difficulty with digital disconnection, and work-life imbalance. We conclude that it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of preventive strategies, which allow to promote the co-responsibility between employers, workers, and ARL, adapting assessment tools to the particularities of remote work, favoring healthy working environments, thereby protecting the mental health of Colombian workers

Análisis de la evidencia científica sobre la sobrecarga de rol y la multiplicidad de 1 funciones como condiciones organizacionales asociadas al deterioro de la salud mental del personal administrativo de pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES).
DAHIANA SOLER MONTAÑO; NANCY XIMENA GUEVARA GUEVARA
Contemporary work dynamics have undergone significant transformations as a result of globalization, the digitalization of processes, business competitiveness, and the need to optimize organizational resources. In this context, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have adopted more flexible management models, characterized by leaner organizational structures, redistribution of responsibilities, and the simultaneous assignment of multiple functions to a single employee. While these strategies can promote productivity and organizational efficiency, they also alter certain conditions in the performance of work activities, increasing exposure to factors that can affect the physical and psychological well-being of workers. With regard to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), these changes have generated an increased interest in understanding how the organization influences the mental health of workers. Initially, in recent years, research has shown that organizational conditions go beyond the administrative dimension and constitute a relevant determinant in the appearance of work stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout syndrome, and other alterations related to psychological well-being. With this, mental health has ceased to be considered an exclusively individual matter and is now recognized as a result linked to the way in which organizations design, distribute, and manage work. Among the organizational conditions that have aroused the greatest interest are role overload and multiplicity of functions, both of which reflect particular forms of work in which the same worker assumes diverse responsibilities, simultaneous expectations, and activities that in many cases correspond to different processes or positions in the organization. However, the information provided indicates that these concepts are not always addressed in a differentiated way. While some studies analyze them as manifestations of work overload, others react to them with role ambiguity, role conflict, or organizational demands, thus generating conceptual differences that hinder the integration of available knowledge and the formulation of specific preventive strategies. Therefore, it acquires special relevance in small and medium-sized enterprises, where structural and budgetary limitations favor the assignment of multiple responsibilities to administrative staff, which means that the same worker performs functions related to administrative management, human talent processes, customer service, purchasing, document management, payroll or the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health activities, without necessarily having a formal redefinition of the position or a proportional redistribution of the workload and without taking into account that these conditions can increase cognitive and emotional demands, affect the perception of control over the work and progressively compromise psychological well-being.
Análisis biomecánico con la herramienta ROSA en los trabajadores de la empresa Seidor, Bogotá, 2026
Neira Dulcey Jhonhattan Andrés; Ovalle Tunjano Mireya; Diana Carolina Rodríguez Romero
Using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment tool, the current thesis examines the degree of biomechanical risk in administrative workers at Seidor Colombia in Bogotá during 2026; the study originates from the extensive hours spent in front of computer equipment, which increases the likelihood of suffering from musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain. The methodology employed consisted of a quantitative and cross-sectional analysis carried out with 57 employes, using ergonomic checklists, surveys on perceived morbidity, and sociodemographic records. The study showed that workers experience constant pain in their hands, neck, and shoulders, worsened by factors such as poorly adjusted chairs, backrests, and screens. The ROSA evaluation revealed that 98.2% of the positions have a "needing improvement" risk and that 1.8% present a "high" risk, requiring adjustments due to the lack of adjustable furniture and the inconvenient placement of work equipment. On the other hand, lifestyle and habits indicated that the pressure on joints and the spine is significantly aggravated due to the high rate of sedentarism 40.5% and overweight over 46%. Regarding the factor of seniority in the job, it demonstrated that continuous exposure to these conditions causes pain to become chronic and symptoms to worsen significantly between 6 and 10 years in the company.
