According to a report provided by the European Agency for Safety and Health at work, in 2007 the ergonomic factors that contribute to occupational low back pain are linked to loads, forces, repeated movements, vibrations, etc. Construction workers are those who are most exposed to this type of disease, also known as discomfort at the lumbar spine level (Idrovo, 2016). In this sense, this monograph was carried out in the first semester of 2021 with the aim of describing the ergonomic risks that predispose to the appearance of occupational low back pain in construction workers by selecting the necessary scientific evidence on the topic of interest and subsequently analyzing it. of the information obtained from the databases. Thus, the ergonomic evaluation in the construction worker's position is important since it makes a correct identification, measurement and evaluation of the various risk factors present and thanks to this evaluation it is possible to know their magnitude and the development of proposals. viable according to the reality found, which in turn will have as a consequence an improvement in the health of the construction worker, safe working conditions, higher productivity and compliance with health and safety regulations at work.
