O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de caracterizar as condições de trabalho e investigar sintomas relacionados à saúde de catadores de materiais recicláveis, vinculados a Instituições de coletas na cidade de Curitiba-PR. A metodologia consistiu de duas etapas: seleção de duas instituições de coletas e entrevistas junto aos proprietários acerca do trabalho dos catadores; e seleção de 22 catadores, sendo 11 de cada Instituição para a análise das tarefas e atividades de trabalho, com embasamento na Ergonomia (Guérin et al., 1994); aplicação de um questionário contendo dados demográficos, sócio-econômicos, aspectos relacionados à saúde com sintomas de frequência semanal no último mês (baseados no UCU Stress Model Questionnaire), e questões relacionadas à como se sentem no trabalho (ansiosos, desamparados, frustados, humilhados). Dos entrevistados 72,7% eram do gênero masculino e 27,3% do gênero feminino. Os resultados indicaram que há uma precarização nas condições de trabalho nas categorias: perfil sócio-demográfico, condições físicas, condições ambientais, medos e receios, e processos do trabalho. Observou-se a presença de dores músculo-esqueléticas em 90,9% e cansaço físico em 95,5% dos entrevistados. Outros sintomas encontrados: 81,8% com dores de cabeça; 27,3% com erupções cutâneas, 45,5% com indigestão; 63,6% com oscilação de humor; 45,5% com dificuldade de concentração; 27,3% com insônia; entre outros.

Concluiu-se que esta atividade pode afetar a saúde tanto física quanto mental dos trabalhadores, havendo necessidade de Políticas Públicas que promovam melhorias nas condições de trabalho.
