Objectives: To investigate the knowledge about ergonomic risks and Work-Related Occupational Disorders (WMSD) among workers at a public higher education institution (pHEI) in Brazil. Methods: An online questionnaire developed by the authors was sent in a snowball sampling scheme to administrative workers at a pHEI in Seropédica, RJ (Brazil). The questionnaire contained questions about the level of knowledge about ergonomic risks; ergonomic furniture and equipment; discomfort and pain during work; the most affected parts of the body; and access to information about ergonomic hazards. Results: Of the 78 respondents, 86% reported hearing about the ergonomic hazards and 67% reported knowing what they are, but only 60% of the respondents can identify ergonomic hazards. About 87% believe that ergonomic hazards affect their health, but 59% reported that they were never spoken to in their face-to-face workplace. Most respondents (87%) also recognized that access to information can allow the identification of ergonomic risks to trigger the responsible sector when necessary. Almost all respondents (96%) would like to receive information about ergonomic risks. Conclusions: Workers at pHEI have little knowledge about ergonomic risks and their recognition, reported a lack of access to information, and an urgent need for improvements in the work environment.References
