Resumo

Introdução: as desordens musculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho (DME) são uma das causas mais comuns da ausência do trabalho. As exposições no entorno de trabalho podem causar ou agravar o impacto destas desordens musculoesqueléticas e a identificação de exposições ergonómicas são essenciais na avaliação de riscos. É importante avaliar os três indicadores chave destas exposições (intensidade, frequência e duração) para poder estimar o nível de risco para o desenvolvimento de DME. Objetivo: este artigo tem como objetivo proporcionar uma visão geral de alguns dos métodos de observação que se podem utilizar para avaliar os riscos ergonômicos no lugar de trabalho. Métodos: este estudo se realizou como uma revisão do alcance da literatura médica e ergonômica e dos sites governamentais o ciais na Suécia, nos Estados Unidos e nos Países Baixos. Resultados: em total, identificaram-se 19 métodos de observação diferentes. Resumimos os nossos achados em função das partes do corpo que se estudaram e os indicadores chave avaliados: 1) a intensidade da carga de trabalho (postura e produção de força), 2) a frequência da carga de trabalho (por exemplo, movimentos repetitivos) e 3) a duração da carga de trabalho (por exemplo, trabalho estático). Em um anexo incluímos uma breve apresentação destes métodos junto à folha de trabalho (se estava disponível) e a fonte de referência do método de observação. Conclusão: para os ergonomistas que realizam avaliações de risco, há uma grande quantidade de ferramentas de avaliação observacional disponíveis e é importante compreender que podem-se usar diferentes métodos simultaneamente para poder estimar os níveis de risco objetivo para DME.
