Resumo
Introdução: ergonomia é a disciplina científica preocupada com a compreensão das interações entre humanos e outros elementos de um sistema, e a profissão que aplica teoria, princípios, dados e métodos para projetar a fim de otimizar o bem-estar humano e o desempenho geral do sistema. Setor industrial propõe que determinadas atividades laborais são altamente estressantes e prejudiciais à saúde dos trabalhadores, caracterizadas pela alta competição, dinamismo laboral, exigência de resultados, e a natureza fragmentada do trabalho, que leva a movimentos repetitivos e um ambiente de serviço monótono. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar os aspectos físicos em trabalhadores da indústria de usinagem e caldeiraria por meio do método OWAS, coletando dados e analisá-los para detectar a existência de riscos físicos que podem gerar prejuízo à saúde dos trabalhadores. Metodologia: foi realizada a coleta
de dados em trabalhadores de uma indústria de usinagem e caldeiraria localizada na cidade de Prudente de Morais - MG. A coleta consistia em analisar e classificar as alterações posturais de trabalhadores por meio do questionário OWAS no software Ergolândia. Resultados: após análise dos resultados do questionário OWAS, foi possível categorizar as ações, sendo 60,5% são necessárias correções em futuro próximo, 15,8% não são necessárias medidas corretivas, 13,2% são necessárias correções tão logo quanto possível e 10,5% são necessárias correções imediatas. Esse estudo nos possibilitou observar possíveis problemas posturais como fatores de risco de adoecimento musculoesquelético, tendo em vista os aspectos observados no ambiente de trabalho e avaliados pelo questionário. Com a análise das atividades, os trabalhadores estão suceptíveis a sintomatologia na região lombar devido a posturas
críticas adotadas na realização das atividades. Conclusão: nesse estudo à aplicação do questionário OWAS, juntamente com a análise da atividade, nos possibilitou avaliar e observar possíveis problemas posturais e riscos a saúde do colaborador da empresa. Com esses achados, é plausível notar a importância de correções futuras nos padrões ergonômicos no ambiente de trabalho, independente da função do funcionário.
Introduction: ergonomics is the scientific discipline concerned with understanding the interactions between humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data, and methods to design in order to optimize human well being and overall system performance. Industry proposes that certain work activities are highly stressful and detrimental to workers' health, characterized by high competition, work dynamism, demands for results, and the fragmented nature of work, which leads to repetitive movements and a monotonous service environment. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze the physical aspects in workers in the machining and boiler making industry by means of the OWAS method, collecting data and analyzing them to detect the existence of physical risks that can generate harm to workers' health. Methodology: data was collected from workers in a machining and boiler shop industry located in the city of Prudente de Morais - MG. The collection consisted in analyzing and classifying the postural alterations of workers by means of the OWAS questionnaire in the Ergolândia software. Results: after analyzing the results of the OWAS questionnaire, it was possible to categorize the actions, being 60.5% corrections are needed in the near future, 15.8% no corrective measures are needed, 13.2% corrections are needed as soon as possible, and 10.5% immediate corrections are needed. This study allowed us to observe possible postural problems as risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders, considering the aspects observed in the work environment and evaluated by the questionnaire. With the analysis of the activities, the workers are susceptible to symptoms in the lumbar region due to critical postures adopted during the performance of their activities./Conclusion: in this study, the application of the OWAS questionnaire, along with the analysis of the activity, allowed us to evaluate and observe possible postural problems and risks to the health of the company's employees. With these findings, it is plausible to note the importance of future corrections in ergonomic standards in the workplace, regardless of the employee's function.
