Abstract:

The health-disease process is socially determined. Being that, work is a factor that strongly influences the morbimortality profile. OBJECTIVE: Study the relationship between work and health conditions reported by the workers of the ornamental stone industry and residents from the district of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, ES. METHOD: Epidemiological, cross- sectional study, with data collection performed through a questionnaire applied to 187 workers at their residence, utilized statistical, descriptive, analytical methods. RESULTS: A large percentage of workers stated acute morbidity (45,5%) and chronic morbidity (44,9%), self claimed as related to work (56,5% and 51,2% respectively). In spite of the large perception by the workers of the risks of the aggressively unhealthy work conditions, those who cited morbidity, related the ergonomic aspects of work to musculoskeletal disorders, the main group of disorders presented. CONCLUSION: The high percentage of morbidity is the result of these individuals being subject to a process of work where the conditions and the way the job is organized physically and mentally wears out worker, as determined by the way work is socially divided in that sector.
