The preparation of human resources is the main challenge to the implementation of security system, so the managers of the Seed Conditioning Plants, as well as hand-to-work training in the universities should be properly sensitized on the subject. The objective of this study was to compound a diagnosis of the conditions of work safety in the conditioning of soybean seeds in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Firstly, it was done a survey on the perception of safety in Seed Conditioning Plants among the professionals who are in training and managers. The profile of the seed plants studied, about job security, shows that 64% have between 1 and 50 employees, 71% have between 1 and 10 machines circulating within the units and 35% have between 5 and 10 silos. Regarding accidents, 36 % of all interviewed units, confirmed the existence of occupational accidents in the last three years. About official inspection, 64% said they have been inspected by the Ministry of Labor and Employment, at least once. There is a concern about the existence of CIPA, which are active in 59 % of the establishments surveyed. The study indicates that superior hand-labor is not enough trained on the subject of health and safety. For the second stage of the research, four soybean seed conditioning plants at Rio Grande do Sul were evaluated in situ, considering every particular constructive, machinery and equipment and technological level. The field evaluations cover measurements of noise, brightness and qualitative and quantitative assessment of airborne dust. None of the surveyed units is in full accordance with the law, for the parameters investigated and the high noise level was the main physical agent of quality of the work environment at the plants surveyed. As for the lighting conditions of the seed plants all are overly dark, compromising worker safety. Regarding the suspended dust is possible to say that the risk is present, but the lack of official reference to vegetable dusts arising from the conditioning of soybeans complicates the interpretation of results and the establishment of safe levels for this operation.
