In the production lines of any company, the work tends to be very demanding for employees, especially if necessary ergonomic care is not observed. Essentially, the concept of ergonomics refers to the relationship between the worker and their work methods. This term comes from the Greek words “ergo” (work) and “nomos” (rules, natural laws).
This concept goes beyond the traditional issues of posture and body movements, also involving equipment and other factors that influence the workplace. Specifically within the industrial environment, the application of ergonomics requires attention to various aspects that ensure the safety, health, and well-being of employees.
In other words, those responsible for ergonomics in the industry study ways to encourage a better relationship between humans and machines. Thus, workers and their equipment, machinery, and everyday professional tools must be in complete harmony.
At Artama, the customization of lifting equipment to meet the specific needs of different industries is a key differentiator, as ergonomics is incorporated into the design to enhance the efficiency and safety of operators. All of this complies with the regulations related to ergonomics in the industry, applying the parameters present in Regulatory Standard 17 (NR-17). This NR aims to establish parameters that allow the adaptation of working conditions to the psychophysiological characteristics of workers, providing maximum comfort, safety, well-being, and efficient performance for the worker.
Artama operates in the segments of elevators, handling, and ergonomics in the most diverse work environments. The company began its activities in 1966 and today has a manufacturing facility of 3,400 m² in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. Since 2013, it has been manufacturing elevators and internal accessories for access to wind turbines, qualifying for this new market and developing technological partnerships with international companies to develop products with local content, now offering a complete portfolio of elevators and internal components for wind towers.
