Abstract

This article aims to apply the Ergonomic Analysis of Work in a banana plantation, located in Delfinópolis, Minas Gerais, in an attempt to evaluate the working conditions offered to employees. The workstation covered is an area for the final processing of production, where several problems were found, which were urgently resolved to avoid complications in the employees' health. To solve these hypotheses were used as engineering techniques and ergonomic tools OWAS and NIOSH, which served as a basis for the suggestions for improvements proposed in the ergonomics of the workplace. Among them, there is a better distribution of the production line, the use of a new cart to transport the bunches of the fruit's foot to the production packaging shed.
