Análise ergonômica aplicada aos processos industriais relacionada a trabalho em ambientes à altas temperaturas

Abstract

The major industry sector in Manaus is represented by electro-electronic industries, but only a part of them has a suitable ergonomically workplace. In the case of metallurgic industries, their working conditions are not suitable due to a series of factors, such as exposure to high temperatures, which cannot be cooled, creating adverse conditions like thermal shock and fatigue. This paper's general goal is to describe the importance of preserving workers' mental and physical health in the workplace through ergonomics. The study presents improvement suggestions and advice that may contribute to solving ergonomic problems related to workers' health.
