Reflexões sobre o agir das operadoras de máquinas fixas em uma indústria de guardanapos de papel: o trabalho representado através da autoconfrontação

Abstract

This study presents some results of a survey of operators of Fixed Machinery of an industry producing paper napkins whose main objective was evaluate how the operators represent their act while they work producing napkins of type 20cm x 20cm in the Fixed Machinery and how they require many strategies, from a self-reflexion on their performance through the moment od self-confrontation(Clot, 2006). The theoretical basis consists of two distinct perspectives: the SDI (sociodiscursive interactionism) and studies of Clinical Activity. The data consist of coments from own workers about their own time to act in self-confrontation. Supported by especific language elements, the analisys sought, in these discourses, reveal how they conceive their work and the due form of self-confrontation procedures allows a redefinition of their acts. From this, ergonomic recommendations were proposed regarding the introduction of breaks for physical and mental recovery and the placement of Fixed Machinery for the construction of knowledge among the operators involved in this process work.
