Percepção dos funcionários de órgãos públicos a respeito de suas condições ergonômicas de trabalho

Abstract

Ergonomics is a science that studies the adequacy of working conditions to the psychophysiological characteristics of workers and all people, in order to provide maximum comfort, safety and efficient performance, both in their work environment and in all their activities. In order to verify this adequacy, the present study aimed to verify the perception of the employees of public agencies regarding their ergonomic working conditions. On-site visits were made to the agencies and semi-structured questionnaires were applied to the employees of the establishments. When analyzing the collected data, it was verified that, the workers have some knowledge about ergonomics and its applicability in the work environment, however, it is not applied in the workstations, a fact proven by the cases of workers who already have pains in the column cervical, probably due to inadequate seating, as well as 80% of City Hall officials say they perform repetitive movements for more than 6 hours a day. Therefore, it is proposed to adopt a Prevention Program through work gymnastics with pauses, breathing exercises and muscular stretches and the acquisition of equipment and materials that seek ergonomic adaptation to the work place
