Resumen
The disposal of urban waste in unsuitable places is irreversibly impacting the environment. For the efficiency of the material recycling process, it is necessary to improve the working conditions of the waste pickers. This essay classified the worker´s posture mistakes, which were verified in a Garbage Recycling Cooperative of the Municipality of Curitiba. Through a visit to the place, it was verified that the ergonomic postures, the lighting and the dimensioning of the space used to perform the tasks are inappropriate for the healthy activity of the workers. Through the analysis of the RULA Method, it was concluded the need for immediate corrections to improve the postures in the workstations. A questionnaire was applied and it allowed finding the worker´s characteristics and the body places they felt more pain. In order to complete the essay, the data obtained in the questionnaire was compared with the inadequate postures observed in the place, identifying the main posture errors, besides the excess of load raised. Therefore, it was possible to propose changes through the inclusion of Equipment and thecorrect posture, in order to eliminate the problems found.
