    In the present technical project, an ergonomic study of the working conditions in the broccoli classification area of the company PRO-FLORET was carried out to mitigate the occupational risks related to the ergonomic risks. Starting the study with a general analysis of the daily activities carried out in the work posts, then it was the identification of the existing labor risks in the company and the estimation of them by means of the qualitative-quantitative method, with the help of the Matrix of triple consideration (Probability, Gravity and Vulnerability) prescribed in the Ministry of Labor Relations. The methods that were used for the analysis of the identified workstations are: RULA Method, NIOSH Method, Check List OCRA Method and Fanger method with the application of the norm UNE-EN ISO 7730/2006, being able to identify the activities or tasks of the jobs with the greatest potential for risk to the health of workers. As a result of the analysis performed it was obtained that the area of floreteo in ergonomic risk factor repetitive movements gave a value of 23.58 which is a high value that gives the presence of musculoskeletal disorders. And for the work of storage was obtained for the factor of risk manual manipulation of loads a value of 3.28 that corresponds to risk from the ergonomic point of view.
