The objective of this research was to determine and evaluate the demanded physical effort in the activity of herbicide manual application in forest plantations, proposing an ergonomic reorganization to improve the workers’ comfort, security, safety and health.
The demanded physical effort was gotten in a survey of the workers’ cardiac frequency while executing the work stages, and classified according to methodology proposed by Apud (1989).
The results indicated that the activity of herbicide manual application was classified as moderately heavy, featuring cardiovascular load below the recommended limit of 40% and there is no need to establish additional break in the work.
Key words: demanded physical effort; herbicide; ergonomic.
