Currently, in Bogotá there is no person in charge of the safety and health argument at work. Whereby the human management coordinator performs small safety and health things at work leaving tasks without covering for work volume and little knowledge issues. Therefore, it is vital to make an analysis to identify the health status of workers or what problems can present in the future.

The methodology to be used to determine the problem is absenteeism indicators. The diseases of the skeletal muscle system have been for several years the first cause of employment disease worldwide and therefore affecting the health and work performance of many workers. The parts of the body that are affected by the DME are the back, neck, shoulders and upper limbs.
