  • Descrição: Objective: To describe, based on the perceptions of disabled workers and on the analyses of working activities, the requirements related to the work organization in ceramic industries and its association with the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: An exploratory and qualitative study held in two distinct locations, a public Physiotherapy facility and a small size industry, both in Pedreira. Nine disabled workers diagnosed with Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD) participated in semi-structured interviews, which followed a guide question: “How is your work?”. The work activities from three active workers were analyzed based on ergonomics, following an observation guide. Results: The results highlighted the presence of factors that indicate that the model of work organization adopted by these industries is associated with WRMD. In the obtained reports, requirements of commitment with objectives and production goals, and fast work pace arouse in different moments. Conclusion: Fast work pace, production requirements, extended working hours and aspects related to the social work environment do not allow workers to adopt strategies to cope with risks, leading to the development of musculoskeletal disorders.
