Design of musculoskeletal epidemiological surveillance systems (EVS).
Biomechanical risk is the main cause of musculoskeletal disorders[one]and a big factor negatively influencing job productivity and job satisfaction.
It is the third cause of absenteeism at the national level and deserves intervention in the workplace, which represents for the worker the space where more than 80% of his day resides.
The current legal regulations (Decree 1072 of 2015 and Resolution 0312 of 2019) suggest the identification and intervention of biomechanical risk in order to prevent occupational diseases and work accidents derived from said risk within the framework of the design of a system surveillance for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
The intervention of biomechanical risk and the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases promote well-being at work, increase business productivity, prevent absenteeism for medical reasons and generate a return of immediate benefits; Satisfactory for the employer and the worker

Design of Cardiovascular surveillance systems
Changes in body weight are the fifth risk factor for mortality in the world. Every year at least 2.8 million adults die as a result of being overweight or obese.
Mentioning the attributable fractions; 44% of the burden of diabetes, 23% of the burden of ischemic heart disease and between 7% and 41% of the burden of some cancers are attributable to overweight and obesity.
It is then considered that high body weight is a predisposing condition to acquire multiple pathologies that reduce the quality of life of the worker and reduce their functional capacity; predisposing you to occupational accidents[one], to absenteeism[2], to low performance and intra-work psychosocial stressors[3].
Overweight and obesity are a important risk factor for acquiring non-communicable diseases, such as: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders (especially_cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ osteoarthritis and osteoarthrosis), some types of cancer (endometrial, breast and colon), among others.
In the workplace, there is evidence of a high predisposition to accidents and occupational diseases, a greater predisposition to generate days of disability, in addition to the presumed loss of the productivity presented by overweight or obese workers whose demands energy before the movement and its biomechanical risk are greater than in the worker with normal weight[4]
Colombian companies are called upon to participate in health interventions for overweight and obese workers, within the framework of preventive medicine programs[5], within which identification activities (anthropometric evaluation), intervention, such as individual and group counseling, the promotion of physical exercise, balanced diet _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b should be developed. -136bad5cf58d_y the modification of life habits, based on personal conviction; being the previous ones, the main tools for the prevention of cardiovascular alterations[6]and finally, companies are called upon to carry out monitoring and motivation activities[7]in order to preserve and promote the cardiovascular health of workers.
Based on the risk statement that represents overweight, obesity and other cardiovascular disorders for the health of the working population; It is necessary to design a cardiovascular risk prevention program, focused on the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits, including physical exercise and a balanced diet; promoting in this way a positive impact on the health of workers
