Objective: to evaluate ergonomic risk and musculoskeletal disorders in hygiene day laborers. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results: The left wrist was the anatomical region that presented the most discomfort in the last 7 days (13.33%), as well as the right shoulder, where persistent discomfort was observed in the last 12 months (13.33%). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal disorders could generate absenteeism or incapacity to work and as a consequence affect the productivity of workers, so it is essential to implement preventive measures such as active breaks in their jobs and an exhaustive medical follow-up of all workers with these musculoskeletal disorders.
