In the world, non-compliance with laws on occupational risk prevention is one of the factors that threatens labor quality. The objective of this study is to determine the perceived levels of ergonomic risk in workers of moving companies working in Lima, Peru. The research is of a basic type, with a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental design and cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of a total of 70 workers who perform moving activities in Lima and who are hired by a moving company. The instrument used was the ergonomic risk awareness questionnaire consisting of 2 dimensions: geometric ergonomics risk awareness and temporary ergonomics risk awareness, with 17 items on a Likert scale. Results show that 100% of the workers present a medium level of ergonomic risk awareness. It was also observed that 100% of the workers present a medium level of geometric ergonomics risk awareness, while 65.71% of them present a low level of temporal ergonomics risk awareness and 34.29% a medium level. Finally, we recommend that managers of moving companies train their employees on ergonomics-related topics in order to increase awareness even more. We also encourage other researchers to carry out comparable investigations to further scholarly discussion on this novel topic.
