Levantamento dos riscos ocupacionais na atividade laboral do músico: um estudo amostral junto à OSUFC Sobral - Ce.

Abstract

Understanding musicians as skilled workers implies recognizing that their work involves creativity and musical interpretation, but also a set of repetitive physical and emotional efforts that are susceptible to a range of occupational risks. The main objective of this study was to survey the main occupational risk factors that musicians face in their work activities, in addition to proposing preventive measures to be adopted to ensure health and safety in the musical work environment. The rationale for this study was based on the need to expand knowledge about the occupational risks faced by musicians, especially in regional contexts such as that of the Symphony Orchestra of the Federal University of Ceará (OSUFC) in Sobral, Ceará. Data collection was a fundamental step in the scientific research developed here. A questionnaire was designed and administered to eight members of the Federal University of Ceará Symphony Orchestra via Google Forms in order to obtain essential information. The information presented on symptoms, diseases, and risk factors shows a clear correlation with the problems identified in the field of occupational health. Therefore, it is important that music professionals adopt preventive measures, which may include the use of hearing protection, adequate breaks during activities, and guidance on performance techniques that minimize physical strain. In addition, promoting a work environment that complies with health and safety guidelines is important for preserving the artist's well-being.
