Avaliação ergonômica, de ruído e de iluminância em postos de trabalho de uma instituição pública

Abstract

This research aims to conduct an ergonomic, noise and illuminance analysis in fifteen workstations of a public institution of the city of Curitiba. The ergonomic analysis was conducted through questionnaires and methodologies taken from the literature. The illuminance analysis was performed based on the standard NBR 8995/2013 - Lighting of work environments - and the noise analysis was taken as the Regulatory Standard 17 - Ergonomics and the rule NBR 10152/1987 (Sound levels for acoustic comfort). Ergonomics in workplaces combined with adequate levels of noise and illuminance brings comfort, efficiency, productivity and quality of life for people in their work environments. Concerning ergonomics it was found that there are points to be improved, as adequacy of furniture. Regarding the noise all checked workstations must be appropriate for the rule. Regarding the illuminance, workstations far away from natural light from the windows should be improved. Thus, there is a need of planning actions to improve the working environments, since in several analyzed workstations the results were not satisfactory.
