Physical and mental health of workers in red ceramics: poor working conditions shows precariousness

Gabriela Rech Salib and João Henrique Zanelatto

Abstract: 

The article presented is a study about the red ceramic industry workers in the town of Sangão, located in the south of Santa Catarina state. In this research, we approach, by means of interviews and bibliographical research, situations that denote the health of the ceramic industry worker being strongly affected by the labor activities to which they are submitted. In providing a voice to the workers, the study denounces the precarious conditions of these individuals, relegating them to a life of abandonment, physical incapacity and lack of hope.
