“…Moreover, as reported by Vasconcelos et al [17], the work of a garbage collector requires constant attention, because the individual must make decisions all the time, whether regarding his safety or the team safety; concerning handling of garbage. These factors may contribute to psychosocial distress at work and consequently to the worsening of musculoskeletal symptoms [8,13].…”

“…As discussed by Santos et al [16] and Vasconcelos et al [17], when a collector is denied a fixed itinerary, his appropriation of work is rendered unviable, for it is prevented the accumulation of experience based on knowledge of local geography and in affective ties established within the team and with the community, which are important factors in the structure of workgroups. This impaires his ability of managing usual and unforeseen events, besides the conflicting goals of quality, time, safety and sparing the body, being subjected to increased workload and to situations of risk and psychological wear.…”

The increased generation of garbage has become a problem in large cities, with greater demand for collection services. The collector is subjected to high workload. This study describes the work in garbage collection service, highlighting the requirements of time, resulting in physical and psychosocial demands to collectors. Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) -a method focused on the study of work in real situations was used. Initially, technical visits, global observations and unstructured interviews with different subjects of a garbage collection company were conducted. The following step of the systematic observations was accompanied by interviews conducted during the execution of tasks, inquiring about the actions taken, and also interviews about the actions, but conducted after the development of the tasks, photographic records and audiovisual recordings, of workers from two garbage collection teams. Contradictions between the prescribed work and activities (actual work) were identified, as well as the variability present in this process, and strategies adopted by these workers to regulate the workload. It was concluded that the insufficiency of means and the organizational structure of management ensue a situation where the collection process is maintained at the expense of hyper-requesting these workers, both physically and psychosocially.

“…Hence Le Boterf (2000) states that to be competent means to have the capacity to act and react in different contexts , to request and combine the necessary and relevant resources to accomplish the task, to understand it and to succeed in its execution. The greater the capacities of the operator, the greater the possibility of dealing with the uncertainties present in the activity (Vasconcelos et al, 2008). In examining the harvester machine operation, it was observed that operators handle several variables (many unpredictable) and risky situations.…”

The mechanisation of sugarcane harvesting in Brazil has experienced significant growth. Mechanical sugarcane harvesters have been rapidly improving to meet the demands of the industry. Operating a harvester machine requires knowledge and competence. This article aims to demonstrate the role of the operator competence in carrying out their task and in the quality of their performance. By applying the Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA), the activity in an actual work situation was described, and the basic competencies required for satisfactory operation were identified. The primary operator competencies consist of performing the adjustment of the machine; operating the machine on a slope and on uneven ground; harvesting different types of cane; operating at night; avoiding damage, diagnosing problems and performing repairs on the machine; and performing multiple tasks.

“…O ponto de vista fisicalista (SMITH, 1999) de avaliação do trabalho não compreende essa duração da vida psíquica nem sua materialização (BERGSON, 1999). Isso resulta em graves riscos para os trabalhadores (acidentes, adoecimentos), que, dotados de expertise, podem ter a sua atividade classificada como simples ou como descartável, ao passo que ela é, de fato, ontologicamente complexa (VASCONCELOS et al, 2008), sob a égide da noção de complexidade na filosofia contemporânea (MORIN, , 1990(MORIN, , 1982.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to amplify the current theoretical scenario of "Mental Health and Work" area, according to the Henri Bergson's philosophy and his concepts of perception, cognition, duration, psychic life, time and subjectivity. This theoretical-philosophical article aims to shed new light on the relations between philosophy of mind and present-day efforts toward a scientific theory of cognition, with its complex structure of theories, hypotheses and disciplines. There is in this paper a new approach to understand the contemporary cognitive sciences in a kind of phenomenological investigation initiated by Husserl's phenomenology. The methods employed were the systematic review and adaptation of Bergson's concepts, and its naturalization in the actual context of epistemological and ontological principles of cognitive sciences, to phenomenological analysis of "work-mental health" links. The current contributions of the Husserl's Phenomenology were used to understand the relations between mental health and work. There are also references to philosophy applied in contemporary cognitive sciences based on Bergson's theoretic-philosophical proposal.
