Análise de riscos ocupacionais: avaliação in loco do posto de trabalho de um tratorista

Abstract

Rural Activities are the predominant economic activity in the south of Rio Grande do Sul, although the state has a diversified economy, it's primarily based on agriculture, livestock and industry. So, the allocation of rural labor still make up a significant amount, as well as the increasing implementation of agricultural machinery and equipment aimed at optimization of this activity. However, as the process suffers a progressive modernization, risks related to these also rise gradually. For that, the study was made through previous observation of the activity, followed by the specific evaluation of each risk inherent to the activity, where through the application of the method of RULA ergonomic analysis were performed using equipments such as the Noise Dosimeter, the Lux meter and Heat Stress Meter were measured physical risks and through the observation in loco risks were evaluated Accident hazards. Thus, based on the collected and analyzed data, it was prepared an action plan aimed at proposing improvements for the rural worker job, which could mitigate or eliminate the risks posed in the execution of its activity.
