Resumo: Musculoskeletal disorders still common at work and still a worry related to health promotion at work. The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders in activities of production operator workers of a recycle company. The methods of this study consisted in selection of the tasks perceived as a big physical effort from workers, application of a questionnaire containing: demographic data, questions related to work, questions from the Musculoskeletal Nordic Questionnaire, validated in Brazil (Pinheiro et al, 2002); investigation about the tasks and systematic activities observations, based on Ergonomics (Guérin et al, 1997). Participated in the study six workers, male, and age between 18 and 33 years. The tasks selected for the observations were: empty the trucks (3 types) and putting the packs in the pallets. To complement the observations were used the following instruments: video and digital camera (for registering postures), metric band (measures of the packs), chronometer (time/ velocity, pauses/times). In the results were found next to workers musculoskeletal pain in shoulders, elbows, and vertebral spine (lumbar region). Presence of organizational aspects: intense rhythm of work, time pressure, insufficient pause's time, poor relationship with the supervisor; which supports the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders; also found general "insatisfaction" of work. The conclusion is that is important to give attention to organizational and psychosocial aspects of work for prevention.

O objetivo deste estudo foi o de investigar fatores de risco de distúrbios músculo-esqueléticos em atividades de trabalho de operadores de produção de uma empresa de materiais recicláveis. Os métodos consistiram de seleção das tarefas percebidas como de maior esforço físico entre os trabalhadores, aplicação de um questionário elaborado contendo: dados demográficos, questões relacionadas ao trabalho, e questões do Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Músculo-esqueléticos (QNSO) validado no Brasil (Pinheiro et al., 2002); levantamentos das tarefas e observações sistemáticas das atividades, com base na Ergonomia (Guérin et al., 1997). Participaram do estudo seis trabalhadores operadores de produção, do gênero masculino, com idade entre 18 e 33 anos. As tarefas selecionadas para o estudo foram: descarregamento dos caminhões (de 3 tipos) e a colocação dos fardos nos pallets. Para complementar as observações foram utilizados os instrumentos: filmadora e câmera digital (registro de posturas), fita métrica (medições dos fardos), e cronômetro (tempo/ velocidade e tempo/pausas). Nos resultados, os trabalhadores apresentaram queixas de dores músculo-esqueléticas em regiões de ombros, cotovelos e coluna (região lombar). Presença de aspectos da organização do trabalho: ritmo intenso de trabalho, pressão temporal, tempo insuficiente de pausas, pobre relacionamento com supervisor; que favorecem o surgimento de dores músculo-esqueléticas, e também encontrado "insatisfação" em geral no trabalho. Conclui-se que é importante dar atenção aos aspectos organizacionais e psicossociais para a prevenção de distúrbios músculo-esqueléticos no trabalho. Universidade de São Paulo.
