Ergonomia no secretariado remoto

Abstract

This research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with the objective of analyzing the ergonomic aspects related to secretarial activities and their possible implications on the performance of secretaries who work in the remote work modality. We sought to answer how ergonomics can contribute to activities in that modality. Initially, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, aiming to identify which secretarial activities are effectively carried out in the remote modality. Next, the applicability of ergonomics in the development of these activities was verified. For this step, the Regulatory Standard – NR 17, from the Ministry of Labor; the guidelines of the International Ergonomics Association and the Associação Brasileira de Ergonomia, as well as the recommendations of Iida (2016), the main author in the field of ergonomics. With this, the ergonomic elements were examined in front of the secretarial activities. The results indicate that most of the activities are carried out in static postures, with a lot of screen time and repetitive movements, factors responsible for the appearance of several occupational diseases. In this regard, ergonomics proved to be an ally in the fight against risks, as it presents solutions for adapting the workplace to the individual. Thus, it was concluded that the application of ergonomics is necessary for the preservation of the health of the professional and the safe development of the work.
