Abstract

GONCALVES, Marcella Silva Ribeiro et al. The pruning of vegetation in the work of the lineman from the perspective of ergonomics and psychodynamics of work. Laboreal [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.2, e18295.  Epub Dec 03, 2021. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.18295.

This article aims to analyze the problems faced by live-line electricians (ELV) of electrical power distribution networks with regard to aspects related to work in the task of pruning vegetation. To this end, an adapted version of the Ergonomic Analysis of Work (EAW) was applied. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the ELV team, and the speeches were treated according to content analysis and discussed from the perspective of Activity Ergonomics and Psychodynamics of Work. The difficulties faced by the ELV team are not only related to the physiological aspects resulting from the efforts made in the face of high demand but are also mainly related to the technical and organizational devices of the work. However, it was possible to identify aspects linked to the dimension of pleasure associated with issues of craft, of work well done and apparently invisible to society.

Keywords : ergonomic analysis of work; linemen; electrical sector; psychodynamics of work.
