Abstract: Currently, manual handling of loads represents one of the main risks for warehouse workers in terms of developing musculoskeletal disorders, which encompass more than 150 disorders and affect more than 1.7 billion people worldwide. For this reason, the main objective of this article is to identify the main areas affected by these disorders and how to avoid them in order to prevent long-term alterations. Search engines such as Google Scholar, Dialnet, Pubmed, and Redalyc, among others, were used to compile this article. The PRISMA method and PICO guide were used for data collection and evaluation methodology. Search engines such as Google Scholar, Dialnet, Pubmed, and Redalyc, among others, were used to compile this article. The PRISMA method and PICO guide were used for data collection and evaluation methodology. A total of 109 scientific articles were located, and after a screening process, a total of 16 articles remained at the time of writing. The results of this systematic review show that most of the studies analyzed identify a direct relationship between exposure to heavy physical loads, forced postures, and repetitive movements. The evaluation methods varied from one author to another. Finally, it should be noted that the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders associated with manual handling of loads not only represents a benefit in terms of health and quality of life for workers, but also has a positive impact on the productivity, sustainability, and efficiency of organizations.
