Este trabalho de investigação aplicada foi orientado segundo o tema: “A Ergonomia como factor moderador de doenças na GNR”.
A Ergonomia é a ciência que estuda a adaptação do ambiente de trabalho ao Homem.
É uma ciência recente em Portugal, daí a razão de muitas pessoas desconhecerem a sua
existência e os seus contributos. A Ergonomia proporciona um melhoramento da saúde, bem-estar e segurança aos trabalhadores, levando assim a um aumento da eficácia destes no trabalho.
Atendendo a este contexto, desenvolve-se um estudo com base na pergunta de
partida. “Como prevenir lesões e doenças relacionadas com condições ergonómicas inadequadas?”. Os principais objectivos são identificar os factores que causam doenças e
lesões nos militares da GNR, de forma a contribuir para um melhor bem -estar e para uma melhor rentabilização do trabalho efectuado, assim como, a verificação do estado e das condições das instalações de trabalho.
A metodologia para o trabalho consistiu na pesquisa documental de textos, livros, internet e legislação, e ainda na interpretação dos resultados obtidos através de inquéritos por questionário, aplicados aos militares da Escola da Guarda.
Após análise dos resultados obtidos conclui-se que o desconforto está presente no dia-a-dia dos militares da GNR, situando-se principalmente na zona da coluna e pescoço.
Na maioria dos casos esse desconforto encontra-se associado ao local de trabalho. Verificase que o desconforto referido aumenta com o trabalho e que diminui com o repouso.
O presente trabalho foi realizado entre Janeiro e Março de 2009.
Abstract This work of applied investigation was guided by the theme: “Ergonomics as a moderator of health in the GNR." Ergonomics is the science that studies the adaptation of the work environment to man. It is a recent science in Portugal, hence the reason why many people do not know of its existence and its contribution. Ergonomics may provide an improvement in health, welfare and safety for workers, thus leading to increased effectiveness at work. Given this context, this study is based on prevention not cure "How to prevent injuries and illnesses related to inadequate ergonomic conditions?” The main objectives are to identify the factors that cause health problems and injuries in the GNR, and to find ways to improve and to seek a better return for the work done, as well as monitoring the status and conditions of work premises. The methodology for this study consisted of investigation of documents, books, Internet and the law, and in the interpretation of results from surveys by questionnaire, applied to the Guard School’s military. After examining the results, it is concluded that the discomfort is present from day-today in the GNR's military, which is mainly in the spine and neck. In most cases the discomfort is associated with the workplace. It appears that the discomfort increases with the increases in the work load and decreases with rest. This work was carried out between January and March 2009.
