Ergonomic Analysis of Work. Process Analysis. Property security
The ostensive mobile round service, developed at the Central Campus of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, run by bankrupt vigilantes, has been presented as the main activity of prevention and coping with acts of violence against people and public assets in this academic environment . Because this is an activity that presents security and ergonomic risks, this study aimed to analyze this process, based on the Work Ergonomic Analysis - AET, in order to formulate recommendations that aim to solve or mitigate the problems identified. This is a qualitative / quantitative case study. For this, the methodology used was bibliographic research, documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews applied to 21 of the 32 vigilantes, and participant observation, all anchored in the AET methodology. We also collected data on the population investigated and data related to the work performed by these servers. For data analysis, the Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet editor software was used. This research ratified the validation of concepts presented by several authors that helped in understanding the theme and in the elaboration of the diagnosis. Regarding the results obtained from this study, we identified the existence of problems related to the distance between prescribed work and actual work, working conditions, which resulted in the presentation of recommendations aimed at contributing to the reduction of safety risks and ergonomics, as well as for the improvement of working conditions and quality of the object under investigation.
