The furniture sector presents itself as a strategic area for the Brazilian economy, as it is characterized by a wide universe of companies, most of them small. In this sector, the risk of accidents is very high, due to the existence of cutting machines, which can cause injuries, various injuries and even amputation of limbs, as well as postural and musculoskeletal disorders. Within this perspective, this study aimed to propose ergonomic improvements for joinery. The applied methodology was the Ergonomic Analysis of Work, through interviews; direct observations; OWAS techniques and diagram of painful areas. Several problems were found and, therefore, ergonomic solutions were proposed by the 5W1H action plan, aiming to eliminate or reduce the risks found.
