Abstract
Work refers to one of the main activities of human beings and represents approximately one third of their lives, so trying to understand labor phenomena from the workers' point of view is essential. Therefore, considering the perception of occupational hazards, as an important element to understand the behavior of workers in the face of a certain risk at the level of their occupation or trade, should be studied carefully.Objective: to determine the perception of ergonomic risks of the outpatient clinic’s health personnel in the "Delfina Torres de Concha" Hospital in 2019. Materials and methods: the methodology used was under the positivism paradigm of quantitative approach. In addition, according to its descriptive scope, it counted as part of a cross-sectional, non-experimental field research design, since in the first place the deliberate manipulation of the variable was not carried out. Existing situations were observed and, secondly, it allowed the analysis of information based on quantities or numerical dimensions.Results: 44% are at a regular level of knowledge represented by 12-13 correct answers out of 14 total questions. The 40% are in a poor range for having 0-11 correct answers. Finally, the 16% representing eight people is ina good range for having 14 responses.Conclusion: it was determined that the ergonomic risk perception of health personnel in the outpatient clinic is not adequate, because in this area there should be a higher level of knowledge about this type of risk, to prevent occupational diseases
