Estudo ergonômico do processo de embutimento e modelagem que compõem o processo de produção em um frigorífico.

Abstract

This Final Course Project presents an ergonomic analysis of the built-in appliance sector of a refrigerator manufacturer located in Manaus, with the aim of identifying occupational risks and proposing improvements in working conditions. The research, conducted through direct observation, photographic records, environmental measurements, and application of the RULA and OCRA methods, evaluated lighting, noise, posture, repetitiveness, and workplace adequacy. The results indicated illuminance below the recommended level, noise within permissible limits, and a score of 4 on the RULA, suggesting the need for adjustments. The analysis also showed overload due to unfavorable postures, repetitive movements, and environmental conditions that contribute to fatigue and discomfort. It was concluded that simple interventions, such as improving lighting, adapting the workstation, and reorganizing tasks, can reduce ergonomic risks, promote greater safety, and support productive efficiency in the sector.
