Skeletal muscle aches are one of the main causes of absenteeism, pain and disability in the workplace. Most workers are unaware of this type of discomfort and consider it as normal, so they do not talk to their bosses about the discomforts they would have in their jobs. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the active pauses and their impact on the productivity of the OH&S company in Guayaquil, which was developed using a mixed approach methodology since a qualitative and quantitative method, of transversal vision, was applied and correlational scope of the investigation, for which interviews and surveys were conducted with the workers of the OH&S company, evaluating fourteen people in the surveys and five people in the interviews; where I can show that their labor productivity decreases when they feel stressed, fatigue or musculoskeletal pain due to repetitive movements of their work activities. For the results, the Fisher's significance test method or better known as the “F Test” was applied, which will allow to infer and analyze if the hypothesis is accepted or rejected, mainly focusing on the null hypothesis, it is established that the null hypothesis is rejects and accepts the alternative hypothesis, in accordance with the level of significance and critical value analyzed. Finally, it is proposed to implement a schedule of basic active pause exercises for OH&S company staff and, in turn, the different strategies for its application are proposed; in order to obtain more relaxed and more productive workers in their tasks.
