Norte-riograndenses petrol production operator’s work

Abstract

This research aims to identify occupational information about the kind of work and the environmental conditions petrol operators/workers have their activities performed daily at PETROBRAS. The data was collected through documental analysis, from documents of public use which were offered by SINDIPETRO (RN). The results reveal that the occupational category developed a kind of work that is complex, continuous and dangerous, under conditions that involve risk, noise, high temperatures and that are also executed in isolated spaces. The data indicated that such environmental and work conditions are potentially prejudicial and able to cause physical and psychosocial damage to petrol operators/workers.
