Abstract(s)
As lesões músculo-esqueléticas ligadas ao trabalho (LMELT) são reconhecidas como um problema de saúde ocupacional. O risco de desenvolvimento de LMELT pode ser minimizado através de uma intervenção ergonómica baseada na identificação dos factores de risco profissionais e a avaliação da exposição aos mesmos. A necessidade deste estudo emerge pela enorme diversidade de métodos de avaliação de risco de LMELT existente e a sua aplicação sem qualquer suporte na actividade real de trabalho. Espera-se que seja um contributo para a selecção do método de avaliação de risco de LMELT mais adequado com base na análise
ergonómica do trabalho (AET), que pela sua perspectiva sistémica e integradora permite o diagnóstico real da situação de trabalho.
Este estudo pretende cingir-se à realidade das unidades de tratamento de resíduos hospitalares, onde o risco de LMELT é elevado. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e
descritivo, abrangendo as categorias profissionais onde se verifique movimentação
manual de cargas. Irá ser aplicada uma ficha de caracterização sócio-demográfica do
trabalhador, seguida de observação para determinação do que é efectivamente realizado. A comparação da tarefa com a actividade real, nomeadamente através da
identificação dos factores de risco de LMELT e da respectiva exposição, permitirá
determinar os factores a avaliar na etapa seguinte - a avaliação do risco de LMELT. Como exemplo prático, será aplicado o Key Indicator Method na avaliação do risco e
analisado à luz dos contributos da AET. Assim, pretende-se evidenciar a importância da AET como ferramenta essencial pois espera-se que os resultados da AET permitam obter uma avaliação real e fiável, que culmine em indicações para a selecção do método de avaliação de risco mais adequado e, dessa forma, promova uma intervenção preventiva mais efectiva.
ABSTRACT - Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are now recognized as a major occupational health problem. The risk of developing WMSD can be minimized through an ergonomic intervention, based on the identification of the professional risk factors and the assessment of exposure to the same. The need of this study emerges from the enormous diversity of WMSD risk assessment methods of existing and its application without any support in the real activity of work. It is expected that may offer a more adequate contribute to the selection of the WMSD risk assessment method, based on the ergonomic analysis (EA) which, due to its systemic and integrating perspective, allows the real diagnosis of the work situation. This study intends to restrain to the reality of treatment units of hospital waste, where the risk of WMSD is high. This refers to a transversal and descriptive study, incluind the professional categories in which the work implies manual handling of loads. It will be applied a social-demographic characterization card of the worker, followed by observation in order to determine what is effectively done. The comparison of the assignment with the real activity, namely through the identification of the WMSD risk factors and the respective exposure, will allow to determine the factors to be assigned on the following stage - the WMSD risk assessment. As a practical example, it will be applied the Key Indicator Method on the risk assessment and it will be analised considering the EA contributs. Therefore, evidence should be made regarding the importance of EA as an essential tool because it is expected that the results of EA may obtain a real and feasible assessment, which results in indications for the selection of the most adequate risk assessment and, being so, allows a preventive intervention more efective.
