Resumo(s)
As lesões músculo-esqueléticas (LME) são dos problemas de saúde mais comuns relacionadas com o trabalho na Europa, e os trabalhadores dos setores Agrícola e Florestal são dos mais propensos a sofrer acidentes, ou a desenvolver problemas de saúde devido à sua profissão. Partindo de uma análise retrospetiva de dados, caracterizou-se o risco de LME e o nível de esforço sentido por Operadores de Manutenção Vegetal no seu trabalho. As regiões mais afetadas foram a coluna (cervical, dorsal e lombar), os pés, a região da mão/punho direita e a coxa direita. A motorroçadora foi apontada como a ferramenta mais penosa e que exigia mais esforço físico. Com base nesta análise foram conduzidas sessões de grupos focais com os trabalhadores, com o objetivo de discutir os resultados obtidos, identificando as suas causas e possíveis soluções. As principais causas apontadas foram: a inclinação dos terrenos; o peso das ferramentas; a falta de preparação física; e o trabalho manual (com motorroçadora). As principais soluções sugeridas foram: priorizar o trabalho mecânico e investir na formação para as boas práticas de trabalho. Após estas sessões, ficou evidente a necessidade de desenvolver e implementar uma formação voltada para práticas de trabalho adequadas, com foco na redução do risco de lesão .
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common health problems related to work in Europe, and workers in the Agricultural and Forestry sectors are among the most prone to accidents or developing health problems due to their profession. Based on a retrospective analysis of data, the risk of MSDs and the level of effort felt by Vegetation Maintenance Operators in their work were characterized. The most affected regions were the back (cervical, dorsal, and lumbar), the feet, and the right hand/wrist and right thigh. The brushcutter was identified as the most the most painful and requiring the most physical effort. Following this analysis, focus group sessions were conducted with workers to discuss the results obtained, identifying their causes and potential solutions. The main causes identified were: the steepness of the terrain; the weight of the tools; lack of physical preparation; and manual labor (with the brushcutter). The main suggested solutions were to prioritize mechanical work and invest in training for good working practices. After these sessions, the need to develop and implement training focused on appropriate work practices, with a focus on reducing the risk of injury, became evident.
