Abstract

The present study investigates the relationship between the production process of meat products that involve the public and private sectors with Work-Related Musculoskeletal Diseases (WRMDs) in the municipality of Prata/MG, for this the specific objectives listed were: to analyze the evolution history of meat consumption, production and storage in the world and in Brazil; understand the historical evolution of the emergence of Refrigerators in the world and in Brazil and the case of the municipality of Prata; establish the link between the public and the private in the work activities of the meatpacking plant in Prata/MG; to analyze the occurrence of musculoskeletal diseases in workers involved in the activity directly or indirectly related to the Prata/MG refrigerator in the light of legislation, notifications and underreporting and the right to social security assistance from Auxílio Acidente. We chose to use a descriptive cross-sectional study, with a qualitative/quantitative approach, using secondary data obtained from the electronic system of the Electronic Petition of the Public Ministry of Labor, from the INFOLOG of Social Security, from the National System of Notifications of Injury (SINAN) and Smartlab of the Public Ministry of Labor Observatory. For quantitative analysis, the Excel program was used, where the data were tabulated and transformed into graphs and for the qualitative analysis, the interpretation was performed through content analysis in the thematic analysis modality. The results attest that there is underreporting of RSI/WRMD among workers and divergence of information between data from SINAN, INFOLOG and Smartlab. It was found that the ICD 10 most prevalent and reported in all systems were respectively: M75 and M54 in the RSI/WRMD notification forms and M70 to M79 and M50 to M54 in the INFOLOGO system. From the document analysis, it was possible to identify, through the professional's view, that the environment and nature of work in a refrigerator is linked to the development of WRMDs due to ergonomic issues and the particularities of the environment, implying physical and mental wear. In order to deepen the investigations regarding the relationship between the environment and the nature of work in a refrigerator and the health of workers in this sector, new approaches to study are necessary, since the subject does not end here, we believe that our results point to the urgent need need for changes in the working conditions of this group of professionals with immediate compliance with regulatory work standards (NRs) aimed at preserving the health and safety of workers in the cold storage industry.
