Aplicação dos estudos ergonométricos relacionados às condições de calor no ambiente de trabalho: um estudo de caso em uma panificadora da cidade de Governador Valadares - MG

Abstract

The work shows the practical application of using regulatory rules of Ministry of Labour., the NR-15 and NR-17 in a company of bakery sector. This work aims to detect if the company comply with the legal requirements of regulatory rules about temperature conditions at the work ambient . First of all, it was used theoretical references to determine which temperature intervals are satisfactory to the studied work ambient, and also to determine the effective temperature that makes the employees work under comfort conditions, and also the determine the temperature index that the employees don't work under unhealthy conditions of heat exposition. After that, it was made measure using a Thermal Stress Measurer. The equipment used gives us the natural wet bulb temperature, the dry bulb temperature, air velocity, and the IBUTG index. The data obtained by the measure were projected on the Effective Temperature Abacus in order to verify thermal comfort conditions and also apply it in the equation that determine the IBUTG index, in order to verify if the ambient is healthy or unhealthy about heat exposition.
