| Summary: |
Research related to worker's health has produced investigations founded on
different epistemologic positions. In this paper we refer specifically to the study
of worker's health within the framework of a recently embraced
techno-productive model in Latin America, where new forms of organization are
being heterogenously adopted. A key question arises from this outlined theory: How can health be researched in work centers that are characterized by these new
organizational patterns of work? In this climate of newly structured conditions of
production, it is difficult to conceive reality in rigid terms. This has led us to
assume distinct methodologic positions wich are the result of epistemologic
reflections engendered during research projets carried out in the field. From here,
participative logic and flexibility, adapted to productive and labor processes,
should serve as a guide to indicate the ways and means towards knowledge of
said reality.
To perceive the real conditions of worker's health, and in order for laborers to
understand their own true work-health situation, which would consequently point
the way to awareness of health as an individual and collective social value,
methods for grasping the present reality should be inseted within these changing
techno-productive activities. To accomplish this, ground involvement within the
recently created alliance -not necessarily impenetrable-, and the use of identical
strategies applied within the new logic of production must de achieved between
its advent and the attainment of health. Our proposal concentrates on the urgency
of developing means that favor a dialectical grasp of the problem of worker's
health, from and for the collective. lt is based on a concrete experience in a
chemical factory which identifies ergonomic incompatibility and muscularskeletal changes. |
