Proposta de adaptação do posto de trabalho de checkouts de supermercado para cadeirantes

Abstract

The present work aims to identify and propose adaptations in a checkout for wheelchair operators, in a supermarket chain located in Ceará. For this, was held an adaptation of the methodology of Ergonomic Analysis of Work, which consists in gathering information about the demand, about the company and the population, and thus to elaborate a diagnosis and to propose recommendations. For the case study, a visit was made in one of the stores, where the dimensions of the checkout used were collected. With these measures, the recommendations of the NBR-9050 standard were used for the comparison between the suggested and the existing one, and with this the main points of inadequacy were evidenced. Therefore, new dimensions were suggested for the work station that allow the use of the same by wheelchair users. After application of the methodology, it was concluded that were found few dimensions that required adjustments demonstrating that in many cases, adaptation is simpler and less costly than the assumption.
