The musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) related to work are the main cause of non-fatal injuries in construction, they involve tensions of the musculoskeletal system of the worker, in muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, which causes the decrease of his ability to execute an activity and the deterioration of health. We reviewed the evidence available in electronic media of scientific information on the problem of SMEs in the activities of the construction sector. Publications were evaluated with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of scientific evidence in databases such as SciELO, RedALyC, SCOPUS and / or MEDLINE, with publications between 2008 and 2018, in Spanish and English. The research contributed that DME is the accumulation of traumas due to excess actions that atrophy body segments, preventable with individual characteristics, design of jobs and risk modulating factors that are elements associated with physical, psychological and social aspects, which find in the working day, rest, hiring and compensation. The contribution of this research to the scientific community focuses on actions to minimize DME in construction workers in our context.
