Repercussões das variabilidades na saúde das passadoras de cola no solado em uma indústria de calçados

Abstract

Variabilities are present in any work, as greater or lesser degree of significance. However, in some work situations variability changes the way that workshould be done, even if it standards are prescribed and followed. Therefore, for this reason this work is realized. Its necessary for workers to create resources to furfill the goals expected by the company. This study aimed to identify the variability that interfere in the work and its impact on the health of the glue sole workers. The variability is presented in work situations and follows both employees and the organization. There are numerous variables that influence the occurrence of variability, such as the variability of workers, both intraindividual and interindividual; variability of work systems in relation to environmental conditions (light, noise, heat) and instrumental (material, technology, equipment). Given the variability workers tend to keep off from the prescribed what may have positive or negative consequences for their health and for the production, but with the acquisition of skills acquired throughout their lifes and cognitive processes used by the employee, they manage the variability found in the work and achieve the goals proposed by the company. The work of the glue on the soles was studied using the methodology of Ergonomics Analysis of Work.This was held for 168 hours analysis. The analysis revealed that the fluctuations in production targets, the speed up of the conveyor, the supply of different parts that should be processed on the conveyor, and rework of defective parts and the impact of climate change on the physical working environment, which are variability that interfere in the work and generates repercussions on the health of the workers who work with glue on the soles such as tension, anxiety and tiredness. Ergonomic recommendations were proposed such as environmental conditions change, as the industry of preparing soles for the headquarters of the company, the organization of production: creating a catalog with pictures. Encourage a time for rework setting a apart the pieces that are in production at that time. Regarding the work organization: to evaluate the possibility of the warehouse sector soles be responsible for the quality control
