Objective: To identify the association between dysergonomic risk factors and musculoskeletal injuries in the mining personnel of the company Minervilla S.A. Method: Descriptive observational. Results and conclusions: The existence of dysergonomic hazards, identified through the application of the ISO TR 12295:2014 questionnaire, where two indicators of dysergonomic risks for the operating personnel are evidenced. The risk factors are lifting loads with a risk estimate of 95%5% and postures and forced movements with a risk of 88.76%, the high percentage is due to the poor conditions in which the activities are performed. On the other hand, a low percentage is consolidated in the factors of transporting loads with 23.6%, repetitive movements of the upper extremity with 15.73% and pushing and pulling loads with 11.2%, this is due to the existence of favorable working conditions.
