DURAN URON, Armando Engels y MELENDEZ SERRANO, Angie Isabel. AN APPROXIMATION TO THE EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BURDEN OF BUS DRIVERS. Investig. andina [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.39, pp.225-235. Epub 02-Feb-2021. ISSN 0124-8146.
The purpose of this study was to know if the mental burden and the physical environment have a different value from the physical burden in bus drivers in the city. Likewise, the study allowed us to know about their work realities in a productive context, in order to ensure compliance with work laws and with the protection of workers. We used the LEST method, which allowed us to evaluate work condi- tions as objectively and globally as possible, by showing each one of the situations at the workplace as either satisfactory, disturbing or harmful. Thus, 16 variables were evaluated and they were groupd in 5 dimensions: physical setting, physical burden, mental burden, psychosocial aspects and time of work. We concluced that the variables that require more attention are physical setting, mental burden and time of work.
