Abstract

The ergonomics seeks above all the perfect integration between man and his working tools. In the specific case of the boot, which is an individual protection equipment - EPI, civil construction workers of João Pessoa - Paraiba State, point out several problems that endanger this integration. On the other hand, the lack of consciousness of the labor strength and of the entrepreneurs to what the importance of the use of this EPI is concerned for the worker's health and security also endangers the search for ergonomics. In this case the improvement of the integration between users and boots faces some questions such as: modification in the project of this safety equipment, consciousness   awareness    of the     workers    and    entrepreneur   concerning    its    importance,       among   others.
