Resumo: This study aims to analyze the impacts of the lack of ergonomic view in the projects of equipment design on workers’ health from the maintenance sector, in the mining industry context. To understand the operators’ health, maintenance activities of three types of equipment were analyzed: pump, crusher and sieve. The methodological strategy of Ergonomic Analysis of the Workplace (EWA) was used. Thus, changes in these activities are required, since some postures adopted for their performance were considered severe and with high risk. Bearing weight above the shoulders and uncomfortable positions are conditions resulted from failures in the equipment designs. To alleviate the problem, it is suggested the adoption of innovative tools or the creation of new supportive devices to improve working conditions of these maintenance professionals.

Se observa que las lesiones del aparato locomotor fueron responsables del 63,45% de las bajas laborales en la industria brasileña en 2018. Mediante un análisis ergonómico del trabajo (AET), se analizaron las actividades de mantenimiento de tres equipos: bomba, trituradora y criba. Por lo tanto, existía la necesidad de realizar cambios en estas actividades, ya que algunas posturas adoptadas para su desempeño fueron consideradas de gran riesgo y gravedad. Soportar peso por encima de los hombros y posiciones incómodas son condiciones derivadas de fallas en el diseño de estos equipos. Para paliar el problema, se sugiere el uso de herramientas de innovación o la creación de nuevos dispositivos de soporte para mejorar las condiciones de trabajo de estos profesionales de mantenimiento.Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar e compreender possíveis influências da ausência de visão ergonômica na concepção dos projetos de equipamentos, na saúde dos trabalhadores do setor de manutenção, no contexto de uma indústria de mineração. Observa-se que lesões no sistema osteomuscular foram responsáveis por 63,45% dos afastamentos na indústria brasileira no ano de 2018. Por meio de uma análise ergonômica do trabalho (AET), foram analisadas as atividades de manutenção de três equipamentos: bomba, britador e peneira. Assim, verificou-se a necessidade de efetuar mudanças nessas atividades, uma vez que algumas posturas adotadas para a sua realização foram consideradas de grande risco e grave severidade. Suportar peso acima dos ombros e posições incômodas, são condições decorrentes de falhas na concepção desses equipamentos. Para atenuar o problema, sugere-se o emprego de ferramentas de inovação ou criação de novos dispositivos de apoio para melhoria das condições do trabalho desses profissionais de manutenção.Research, Society and Development2021-11-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2193310.33448/rsd-v10i14.21933Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 14; e158101421933Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 14; e158101421933Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 14; e1581014219332525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21933/19596Copyright (c) 2021 Aparicio Afonso dos Santos; Luciana Paula Reishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Aparicio Afonso dosReis, Luciana Paula2021-12-04T11:48:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21933Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:41:14.300043Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
