© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.The design of a workstation includes the Design of the environment and the design of the workspace and the compliance of international and local norms established for those topics. Evaluating a posture is part of this design because it is the study of working conditions. For this specific task, there are various methods for assessing postures in a job: OWAS, Corlett, SWAT, VIRA, ARBAN, Keyserling, etc. In this paper we will present the result of the risk evaluation of 4 different postures by different analysts using two different methods, some using the OWAS method and some using an Augmented Reality app designed for the same purpose. The goal of the study is to define if there is an effect on the quality of the risk evaluation of the posture depending on the method utilized and the level of experience of the analyst.
