“…Carcinogenic, teratogenic, irritating, asphyxiating, anesthetic, allergic effects, among others, are the possible damages caused by dangerous exposure to chemical agents. In addition, according to Cockell et al (2004), the accumulation of dust and contamination by "remnants" of chemicals present in the collected containers can cause respiratory disorders and allergies.…”

The adequacy of working conditions to safety standards has a fundamental importance in the company's environment. The efficient implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System allows the reduction of risks associated with accidents; reduce costs to the employer and a strong ally in the competitive market when the safety indicator is a decisive factor in the choice of suppliers. The aim of this study was to evaluate occupational safety and health (OSH) practices at work in a plastic recycling plant located in northeastern Brazil, as well as to identify opportunities for improvement. Data collection was carried out from on-site visits and control measures were proposed for the risk factors identified. The evaluation made it possible to identify that the recycling activity is characterized by several occupational hazards, which are aggravated by inadequate working conditions. The non-conformity of jobs, the use of obsolete equipment and the lack of specific training to perform certain functions were identified as the most relevant aspects. For these, opportunities for improvement and adequation were connected. The study results can help other companies that perform the same activities to improve their performance in OSH based on the points of improvement presented.

“…No âmbito do desenvolvimento do trabalho, geralmente são utilizados como instrumento dos catadores, carrinhos de diversos tipos e modelos ou sacos apoiados nas costas, sem considerar os padrões ergonômicos, que podem ocasionar problemas decorrentes da má postura (RIBEIRO et al, 2015). Nesse viés, Cockell et al, (2004), a partir da análise ergonômica do trabalho na triagem de materiais recicláveis, apontou que os trabalhadores estão expostos a riscos de acidentes (cortes na mão) e doenças (transtornos respiratórios e alergias), bem como sofrimento psíquico, sobrecarga física e mental. Ademais, Cavalcante e Franco ( 2007) destacam que "o ato contínuo de curvar o corpo para apanhar os resíduos recicláveis ou carregar peso excessivo durante as coletas, triagem e acondicionamento".…”

Com a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, emergiu a gestão de resíduos sólidos (GRS), tornando mais visível a presença dos catadores de materiais recicláveis na sociedade. Neste contexto, objetivou-se avaliar, no contexto da GRS, a percepção de comerciantes sobre os catadores de materiais recicláveis em Araçuaí, MG, bem como levantar aspectos sobre a visibilidade, relevância do trabalho e inclusão dos catadores na GRS do município. Para isto, aplicou-se um questionário com sete questões a 62 comerciantes de nove segmentos. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos comerciantes são compostos por funcionários (82%), seguidos de gerentes (13%) e proprietários (5%), os quais, em sua maioria, demonstraram ter algum conhecimento acerca da GRS como coleta seletiva e materiais recicláveis, mas apresentaram baixa adesão à separação de resíduos, uma premissa da coleta seletiva. Quanto à visibilidade, ao trabalho e à inclusão dos catadores na coleta de materiais recicláveis, verificou-se que os comerciantes dão importância ao trabalho, além de afirmar que destinariam os resíduos à uma associação de catadores municipal. Com relação aos catadores, o presente estudo levantou algumas questões socioeconômicas, mas estas devem ser aprofundadas para assim tornar ainda mais visível a relevância do trabalho dos catadores enquanto agentes ambientais. Conclui-se que é importante o município de Araçuaí implementar um plano de GRS conforme a PNRS, devendo adotar a responsabilidade compartilhada, incentivar os comerciantes a separar materiais recicláveis com vistas à coleta seletiva e destiná-los à associação de catadores, propiciando trabalho formal, renda e benefícios ambientais.

“…With regard to the analytical category "Selection activity", Cockell et al (2004) used the Ergonomics activity analysis (Eaa) methodological approach, in which the observation focus lies on the performed work rather than on the prescribed one. Moreover, it parts from the assumption that activities cannot be reduced to what is actually observed, but they must take into account the informal knowledge, the criteria of individuals that guide their actions and goals, which, in their turn, can be conflicting with the organization.…”

This study aims to identify articles focused on the waste picker’s health to support the construction of an analytical framework that considers the individual and the environment in the scope of their labor activity. For this purpose, it is intended to answer the following question: which aspects can be considered in the analysis of the waste picker’s health in their labor activity? Methodologically, it has an exploratory nature and use the Systematic Review of Literature. The results pointed out to four categories of analysis grouped into the following aspects: meanings, individual, activity and environment. The analytical framework proposed presents contributions for an extended understanding of waste picker’s health, its aspects and interrelationships. Finally, it is suggested that empirical studies could be carried out to validate the proposed structure.
