| Resumo: | This article aims to identify the importance of knowing environments and conditions of work in order to understand the developedactivities, to recognize risk factors affecting health specific of this population and to detect the difference there is between damages to healthof adolescent and adult workers, to consider transformations in work environments, conditions and relations. The methods used in the study weresystematic observations of the work in the different shifts of the companies, the application of a questionnaire with all the workers, interviewswith 20% of the workers charged of each function, groups of reflection with employees representatives and validation of the results on thepresence of employees representatives from the different sectors. The study identified characteristics specific to the relation health/work andadolescence in the diverse aspects of the investigated activities of the food sector: physical, biomechanical, cognitive and organizational. Asregards morbity we can say that the specific damages to health of this population are in a greater number and more serious than in the case ofthe adult population. Although we obtained some results like changes in work environments, conditions and relations and the reduction of theoccurrence of reported damages to health related to work, we recognize the limit of our actions when we perceive that the great challenge is toinvest in interventions that make possible a greater social integration and a better learning at school, contributing to the reduction of the urbanviolence and the betterment of the quality of social, affective and professional life of adolescents. |
