Procedures for risk assessment of critical slant prevention ergonomic work stations: a case study

Quality of life (QV) is directly related to the quality of work life (QWL), as it is in the workplace that individuals occupy most of the time. Therefore, states that job satisfaction, daily hours of work, remuneration, conditions of the physical environment, the opportunity to advance, among other factors, are being discussed and studied to make the most satisfying and less harmful to health of employees working conditions. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors that affect the performance of the activities of the production chain partners LTDA Amapoly Industry and Trade, and the impact of predisposing aspects of occupational diseases related to work. This is a qualitative and quantitative study, is characterized by the use of precision measuring outcomes intended to prevent distortion of analysis and interpretation, allowing, therefore, a degree of certainty as to the deductions and qualitative in which the researcher to obtain "measures" with greater internal validity because unstructured observations allow us to know details that structured instruments (questionnaires) can not achieve. From a descr iptive approach that allowed discover and classify the relationship between variables and discover the characteristics of the phenomenon of investigation. Results identified the risk factors affecting the performance of the activities of contributors, and the impact of predisposing aspects of TME. The study confirmed the importance of ergonomics in the investigation of issues related to occupational diseases, namely the causal factors of musculoskeletal disorders, and no prevention among at-risk populations is paramount to first , there is an awareness by both employers and employees.
