Representing financial costs and productivity penalties, work accidents and occupational diseases generate concerns in organizations in a global sphere. Although strategies to reduce or eliminate occupational risks and measures of prevention are being increasingly developed worldwide, accidents remain very frequent (Alli, 2008).

BACKGROUND: The working population is exposed daily to unavoidable climatic conditions due to their occupational settings. Effects of the weather such as rain, heat, and air pollution may increase the risk of diseases, injuries, accidents, and even death during labor. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to summarize the impacts of climate change on workers’ health, safety and performance, identifying the risks, affected workplaces and the range of methodological approaches used to assess this problem. METHODS: A thorough systematic mapping was conducted in seven scientific international databases: Emerald, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Scielo, Scopus, SpringerLink, and Web of Science. Three research questions guided the extraction process resulting in 170 articles regarding the impacts of climate change on occupational health and safety. RESULTS: We found an accentuated trend in observational studies applying primary and secondary data collection. Many studies focused on the association between rising temperatures and occupational hazards, mainly in outdoor working settings such as agriculture. The variation of temperature was the most investigated impact of climate change. CONCLUSIONS: We established a knowledge base on how to explore the impacts of climate change on workers’ well-being and health. Researchers and policymakers benefit from this review, which explores the suitable methods found in the literature and highlights the most recurring risks and their consequences to occupational health and safety.

The School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) is widely discussed in the operations research literature and can be solved by several exact methods and heuristics. This problem seeks to designate the most efficient routes for a fleet of school buses, minimizing the total distance covered and considering variables such as bus stop locations, number of passengers, and the assigned destination for each of them. This study aims at solving a real case SBRP of a small-sized county located in the state of Paraná. The proposed method is based on the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) and Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) combined with a heuristic correction that guarantees sequence constraints, in which the student has to be collected before visiting their destination school. It was possible to obtain two routes of 30.76 km and 17.42 km respectively and both with the total vehicles’ capacity of 24 students, which corresponds to the reduction of about 10% in the daily distance covered by two buses.

Uma das atividades de maior importância no desenvolvimento de um produto é a validação das informações, requisitos e decisões tomadas para sua construção junto aos interessados no projeto, de forma a se ter certeza de que o que está sendo produzido é, de fato, o que atende às necessidades do usuário. O produto em estudo é um sistema de mobilidade para praticantes de equoterapia, desenvolvido de forma a minimizar os esforços biomecânicos dos profissionais de equoterapia mas sem comprometer a segurança do praticante, por isso, a validação das conformidades e necessidades do equipamento é indispensável. Dessa forma, para validar a alternativa de solução selecionada, verificando questões estruturais, dimensionais e de segurança do produto, foi desenvolvido um modelo em escala real a ser apresentado aos usuários. A proposta deste estudo é apresentar as informações, questões e etapas essenciais para o desenvolvimento deste modelo, discutindo sua concepção e também os resultados obtidos. Com o modelo, foi possível notar algumas adversidades não percebidas com o desenho 3D, como o superdimensionamento de algumas peças, algumas dificuldades de movimentação de peças articuladas que conflitavam com outras, entre outros aspectos, contribuindo para um aprimoramento do produto final.
