The prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort was analyzed according to different anatomical segments, resulting in 77% referred to the neck, followed by discomfort in the right shoulder with 48.31%, followed by lumbar discomfort with 35.48%, being considerable to generate ergonomic actions with the aim of preserving the health of workers. It was evidenced that 83.78% of the workers present some musculoskeletal symptoms. Seventy-seven percent reported cervical discomfort, followed by discomfort in the right shoulder 48.3% and discomfort in the dorsal or lumbar spine 35.48%.
