O setor florestal apresenta desafios ergonômicos significativos devido às condições adversas de trabalho, como terrenos acidentados, atividades estáticas, esforço físico intenso e repetitividade tarefas que podem aumentar riscos lesões, principalmente, no sistema musculoesquelético prejudicando a saúde dos trabalhadores. Este estudo teve objetivo analisar prevalência desconforto osteomuscular, lesões por repetitivo (LER) distúrbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho (DORT) em...
Occupational hazards arising from physical agents present in wood harvesting equipment may cause irreversible damage to the health of exposed operators. Thus, objective this study was quantify noise and vibration levels emitted by three types (Feller-buncher, Harvester Forwarder) a forestry company north-eastern Brazil during workday. Noise measurements were performed with an equivalent level meter (audiodosimeter) at workstation compared limits set NR-15. To evaluate used full cup gauge,...
The grapple skidder is a self-propelled forestry machine that used for the extraction of trees in wood harvesting—commonly full tree systems. Moving this can expose operators to occupational hazards physical origin, among which whole body vibration stands out. However, measurement risk agent does not have standard time, being performed periods approximately 30 min—disregarding time daily workday. In view this, it was analyzed whether exposure transmitted using different times complies with...
This study evaluated ergonomically the workers of a furniture industry making sofa structures, located in city Visconde do Rio Branco, Minas Gerais State, between August 2016 and December 2016, aiming to evaluate quality life ergonomic risks present. It was population 66 workers, including assemblers structures carpentry machine operators, both males. Initially, all these were submitted pain test, performed by means questions regarding greatest least muscular discomfort, with help map...
ABSTRACT The institution of biological value areas through the creation Natural Protected Areas is an essential tool for protecting country’s environmental resources to face advanced anthropic development in natural areas, either increase agriculture production or economic growth. Environmental vulnerability studies combined with geotechnological tools have been vital identifying most vulnerable and consequently help Conservation Units protection. This study aimed analyze at buffer zone...
A instituição de áreas elevado valor biológico por meio da criação Unidades Conservação (UC) tem se tornado importante instrumento proteção aos recursos ambientais no país, frente ao desenfreado avanço antrópico sobre ambientes naturais. Integrante do grupo Proteção Integral, os Monumentos Naturais caracterizam-se pela singularidade dos atributos naturais existentes. Apesar sua relevância ambiental, escassos são estudos direcionados a destrinçar as peculiaridades das UC’s e fomentar...
