ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to identify the health of the federal public agent, at a department of physical education and sports of a federal institution of higher education. The research was exploratory and descriptive type, with participatory approach. The adapted questionnaires used were WCI - Work Capacity Index and NASA-TLX. It was noted that the work capacity had low and moderate, besides the workload was on high level. The results showed problems in the work environment that affect the public agent’s health, and this is generating labor disabilities in the short/medium term. Ergonomic actions need to be developed, with the central administration Institution.
