Lift and manual transport of loads: description of ergonomic improvements in the maintenance sector of machinery and equipment in civil construction

Abstract

This study was proposed to describe the measures of ergonomic improvements regarding the lifting and manual transport of loads implemented in the sector of maintenance of machines and equipment in civil construction. To achieve what was outlined, bibliographical research was used to structure the theoretical basis of the study associated with the case study. As a result, it was possible to verify that the implemented ergonomic interventions contributed significantly to the improvement of working conditions, generating more comfort and well-being for the worker. Ergonomic actions such as bench restructuring, and the use of "Giraffes" and Bobcats made it possible to preserve the health of workers, especially regarding risk factors present in the work environment, and possible generators of diseases
