    This manual aims to provide guidelines for preventing risks associated with manual handling of loads in activities carried out by indigenous women in the Ecuadorian highlands. Its content addresses the main risk factors that may cause physical fatigue, musculoskeletal injuries, and disorders, particularly affecting the upper limbs and the dorsolumbar region. It also describes load characteristics, handling conditions, and work organization factors that may increase exposure to occupational risks. The manual presents recommendations and techniques for lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling different types of loads, promoting proper postures, the use of leg strength, the reduction of twisting movements, and the use of mechanical aids whenever possible. Finally, it includes exercises aimed at improving physical strength and mobility as complementary preventive measures, contributing to the protection of women's health and safety during the performance of their work activities.
