    The primary objective of the study conducted at the Faculty of Systems, Electronics, and Industrial Engineering of the Technical University of Ambato was to identify ergonomic risks among administrative staff. This study was initiated in response to the issue of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the productivity and well-being of the staff due to inadequate ergonomic conditions in the workplace. The applied methodology included a diagnosis of workstations, risk assessment using the ROSA method, and the proposal of a prevention program. This approach combined bibliographic and field research techniques, utilizing direct observations and tools such as surveys and interviews to collect data. The results indicated that 64% of the administrative staff face a high risk requiring intervention, while 22% are in a critical situation with very high risks demanding urgent action. Additionally, 14% of the workstations could benefit from minor adjustments. Based on these findings, it was concluded that it is imperative to implement a prevention program that includes adjustments to workstations, ergonomic training, and the incorporation of active breaks. This program not only addresses the identified risks but also promotes a safer work environment and raises awareness about the importance of ergonomics, thereby improving the health and productivity of the staff.
