Abstract
This work is part of the overall technical and technological intervention model MITTI after its initials in Spanish that was applies with a group of companies in the Colombian flower industry. Based on the results of an ergonomic evaluation of the greenhouse rose-cutting process which was recognised as being critical a set of actions was designed that would solve the problem from a systemic perspective. These consisted of a training programme in coping with repetitive movements a biomechanical evaluation of the pruning shears used a biomechanical evaluation of the glove that was being used a design evaluation of the gloves that available on the market analysing and choosing the best commercial shears available redesigning the glove designing a shear holders and finally a comparative biomechanical evaluation of the initial situation and the situation obtained. These items have so far been introduced with a large number of flower companies in the country and have become a production and occupational health standard.
