摘要：This study aims to evaluate the adverse working conditions of waste pickers in an association placed in Rio Grande do Norte state’s countryside. The research was carried out through questionnaires, documentary analysis and observed the collective operational processes in such association. The research techniques were systematic observation, allied to techniques of extensive direct observation and indirect documentation. Overall, 11 workers are associated to this organization; ten of them are directly immersed in the productive processes while one person is the association’s president. Regarding occupational hazards, these workers were exposed to all environmental risks (physical, ergonomic, accident, biological and chemical ones). With respect to diseases, cutaneous dermatitis, disc herniation, respiratory dysfunctions, leishmaniasis, tetanus and bursitis were identified. Regarding mitigation measures, it is suggested the labour formalization, PPRA and PCMSO creation with training sessions, risk mapping, signalling, use of PPE’s and health assessments. All these measures might be supported by municipal association.
