Análise da temperatura ocupacional e do conforto térmico dentro do setor de produção de uma indústria têxtil

Abstract

This work consists in evaluating the thermal comfort occupational temperature in the productive sector of a textile company producing individual protection equipment in the southern region of Brazil and propose improvements to the data collected. For the collection of these data the method proposed by the NR15 annex 3 was chosen, that is to say, the Wet Bulb Index Globe Thermometer - WBGIT. From the results obtained, with the quantitative measurements in the factory environment, it can be seen that the environment does not have an effective temperature control, that is, the values oscillate within the temperature tolerance limits of WBGIT, proposed by standard NR 15, and sometimes exceeds the proposed limit. This constant change of ambient temperature considerably affects the thermal comfort for the workers, being this a determining factor so that it maintains its productive capacity. Therefore, it is imperative that the company implements the improvement proposals present in this work, so that workers maintain their health and consequently their productivity.
