Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho em uma Loja de Móveis Planejados, Decorados e Rústicos - Estudo de Caso

Abstract

The implementation of ergonomics plays a key role in promoting safety at work, seeking to align the occupational system with the individual particularities of employees. The objective is to ensure not only health, safety and comfort in the work environment, but also to enhance productivity. This study focused on the ergonomic analysis of a custom, decorated and rustic furniture store, located in Campo Grande – MS. The study covered sectors where activities are carried out in a sitting position, especially in front of computers. To evaluate workstations and employees, Ergonomic Work Analysis (AET) methodologies were used, such as Workplace Sizing Analysis, Anthropometric Analysis, Nordic Questionnaire, Painful Area Diagram and Ergonomic Questionnaire. In the first two methodologies, measurements were collected, both from employees and their workstations, to diagnose problems and suggest improvements. For the other methodologies, the employees themselves carried out a self-assessment after the workday, identifying areas and degrees of discomfort in each region, in addition to tracking their profiles. The study identified repetitive movements, long exposure to the computer, noise and inadequate lighting, in addition to an unsuitable structure for employees. Finally, improvements were proposed that include personalized adaptation of workstations, acoustic insulation strategies, optimization of the layout to reduce eye exposure to external light and training on postures, aiming to improve the environment and increase comfort and productivity.
