Analysis of the Working Environment in a Poultry Processing Plant

In recent years, Brazilian poultry farming has undergone extraordinary changes, making Brazil one of the largest poultry producers and exporters in the world. The poultry sector has gone from a farm-owner operation to an economy of scale, made possible by the association of numerous producers. However, employees' work functions have not been modernized, thus increasing physical effort, monotony and RSI/WMSD. In this context, this study aims to identify the risks to workers' health that have been assessed in the poultry slaughtering process in a slaughterhouse.
