Os efeitos do trabalho na saúde têm vindo a tornar-se cada vez mais evidentes, o
que revela a necessidade de adotar medidas que visem preservar a saúde e o bem-estar
dos trabalhadores.
Centrando-se nas influências recíprocas das dinâmicas do trabalho da atividade
agrícola, o presente estudo, ancorado na abordagem da psicologia ergonómica, procurou
identificar as exigências e constrangimentos do trabalho neste setor de atividade e os efeitos
na saúde e bem-estar dos trabalhadores.
Em termos metodológicos, o estudo contemplou a administração de um inquérito que
aborda as relações entre a saúde e o trabalho – Inquérito Saúde e Trabalho (2010),
complementado com verbalizações dos participantes e observações do contexto real do
trabalho.
Os resultados obtidos comprovam a existência de constrangimentos ao nível do
ambiente físico e organização do trabalho que afetam e condicionam a saúde dos
trabalhadores.
