摘要：

This study investigates the ergonomics aspects of work in an industrial kitchen. This work environment is dynamic yet repetitive and often leads workers to adopt inappropriate postures. To assess these work conditions, an ergonomics survey was applied to identify work-related musculoskeletal disorder symptoms, their intensity and affected areas. An evaluation of the most critical activities was performed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and the Ovako Working Posture Assessment (OWAS) methods, whose results were compared. The results of the three methods failed to coincide with each other with the RULA method indicating a greater severity in all tasks evaluated and the OWAS method determined lower severity.
