Abstract

The globalization of markets, considerably intensifies the competitiveness between companies, which attributes to organizations the continuous search for management tools such as Ergonomics and Hygiene and Safety at Work that help them in the development of legislation, quality of life at work and the decrease accidents, contributing to productivity and profitability. The objective of reducing accidents is consistent, since more than 5.4 million accident notifications have been registered since 2012, making Brazil fourth in the world ranking. The vast majority of these accidents result from the work environment itself and the conditions they provide. This work aimed to carry out an Ergonomic Analysis of Work and to verify the conformity of Regulatory Standard 6 and 17 in a company that provides finishing services on textile garments, in the city of Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, in the countryside of Pernambuco. In view of this, onsite visits, photos, direct observations, interviews and questionnaires were carried out to identify problems, such as the risks to which workers are exposed, inappropriate postures, use of Personal Protective Equipment and compliance with the aforementioned Regulatory Standards. For data analysis, the Ergolândia software was used with the Rappid UpperLimb Assentment method, the elaboration of flowcharts, risk map and application of the 5W2H. From the data and results obtained with the software, it was possible to conclude that the posture adopted by employees need immediate interventions, through the risk map it was noticed that employees were exposed to four different types of risks and that none were used type of Personal Protective Equipment to mitigate them. It is concluded, then, that the organizations that are not adequate to issues of Hygiene and Safety at work and Ergonomics lose space and competitiveness, because in the midst of the continuous changes in the productive processes, the collaborator becomes the focus of research to make the safest, most comfortable and compatible working environment for your needs.
