Abstract
The health and well-being of workers in the construction sector are affected by different occupational and ergonomic risks that may arise in different situations when carrying out their activities. In this sense, the purpose of this review is to determine the most used methodologies for the prevention of occupational and ergonomic risks in the construction sector. To do this, a search equation was proposed in the Scopus database, where 448 articles were obtained as an initial result; Under a systematic search, 64 documents were subsequently obtained. Likewise, through the Prisma methodology, exclusion and inclusion criteria were applied, where 17 articles were determined for the review. Based on this data, it was analyzed that the different authors recognized that BIM and 3D methodologies are being used in the construction sector for the prevention of occupational and ergonomic risks. It was concluded that these methodologies help to prevent and identify these risks in the construction sector, each of them independently.
