Ergonomics has taken on an increasingly prominent role in the design of work environments, characterising everything from man's relationship with the various techniques to the need for quality, productivity and cost reduction inherent in production. In general terms, an ergonomic analysis is used to analyse the working conditions of a given task in order to provide comfort and safety for workers.

So this monograph aims to ergonomically analyse the working conditions and safety of the production environment at Cerâmica Tramontin, based on Regulatory Standard No. 17 - Occupational Safety, Health and Medicine, which aims to establish parameters that allow for adaptations and working conditions, conditioning the psycho-physiological characteristics of workers in order to meet their needs for work performance.

As a result of this study, it is hoped that the environments of the pottery and ceramics industries in Amapá will have appropriate conditions for the development of their activity, increasing productivity as well as the quality of life of workers. .
