- Abstract
Introduction: Work leave causes distress for the employee, employer and society. Brazil annually spends an average of 20 million reais on accidents and occupational diseases. Making these employees aware of disease prevention is of paramount importance for their quality of life. Objective: Elaboration and validation of a booklet with instructions on labor gymnastics exercises and ergonomic tips. Methodology: Action-research, descriptive, in the form of health education, in which a booklet was made as support material for the promotion of workers' health, the process took place in two stages; construction of the booklet and its validation. Result: The target audience was interested in an educational booklet on labor gymnastics. Among their observations, the use of illustrations/photos in the booklet was emphasized, in order to make it more understandable, facilitating visual communication with what was being explained. Conclusion: The booklet is relevant and presents itself as a new instrument to reduce the incidence of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) in the field of research.
