Ergonomics emerges as a science that seeks to improve the quality of life and, especially, the health in the workplace. In this sense, it is a set of rules that aim to improve the level of worker satisfaction.

Thus, given the relevance of the topic, this study aims to promote discussions on the role of Ergonomics in the field of work and in professional and technological education, as well as its applicability in improving work safety conditions, bringing discussions that allow us to assess its magnitude for the work scenario in the educational environment.
