The results revealed the presence of MSD in arms and forearms, being more perceptible mostly in the back, neck and wrists; the findings suggested that none of the postures are acceptable and that there is a prevalence of repetitive movements. Through the research it was possible to conclude that 100% of the positions present risks for which preventive measures should be taken in the work environment and work method, and also that 89% require urgent intervention.
