Avaliação ergonômica e medida de solução na atividade de expedição de mudas no viveiro florestal da Araupel S/A

Abstract

The forest-based enterprises generally produce the seedlings in their nurseries. Mostly it is about a low-risk activity. However, it was detected through conversations and observations that the activity of seedlings for field expedition is the biggest impact, requiring intervention. A meeting with everyone involved in the process, open a tool for identifying problems, called A3 to record the evolution of the project and organize the steps was performed. With the aid of the flow chart of production, we analyzed the activity performed and the ergonomic assessment using three different methodologies: RULA, Couto and OWAS. After the evaluation result, reconvened involved and studied out a measure to reduce stress and increase productivity in the activity. Settings with a high table and chair rails in position switching was developed. The assessment showed improvement after this change in the ergonomic evaluation of three methods, ranging between 50% and 70% risk reduction in activity, thus ensuring the success of implemented improvements and worker satisfaction.
