Abstract
The market is increasingly competitive and due to it, industries look after their collaborators’ health, aiming to increase the efficiency through better work conditions. Therefore, the application of ergonomic principles within industries have become extremely relevant, it improves the life quality at the work place, reduce injuries and increase the productivity, which is a desired factor within organizations. This study brings an ergonomic analysis made by the application of three ergonomic tools: anthropometric measures applied in the software Antroprojeto, OWAS method and NIOSH lifting equation in a metallic system manufacturing industry workstation where workers perform a task of manual lifting of load (metallic tiles). The application of the tools shows that methodology of work and equipment dimensions were harmful to workers. Ergonomic recommendations were suggested and promptly adopted by the company, contributing to workers health and productivity.
