The objective of this study was to analyze the dysergonomic risks and musculoskeletal injuries in mining operators of a private company. Methodologically, the study was descriptive with a non-experimental design. The study population consisted of a total of 116 workers in the operative area. Once the research and analysis of results obtained through the questionnaires ISO TR 12295:2014 and standardized Nordic questionnaire for the perception of musculoskeletal symptoms has been developed, it is concluded that there is a clear relationship between dysergonomic risks and musculoskeletal injuries presented by the workers of the company Minervilla S.A. Since the correlation between these variables was demonstrated through the application of Fisher's exact test. The existence of musculoskeletal injuries is confirmed, since 66.30% of the workers suffer from discomfort or discomfort in the lumbar region or back.
