WIEGO Photo News Report – Ergonomics Workshop with Waste Pickers from Redesol, Cataunidos and Catavales

By on July 01, 2019

An ergonomics workshop was held with 39 waste pickers from 17 Brazilian cooperatives.

This workshop was led by certified physical therapist, Pedro Fonseca, and is part of the action-component to the Cuidar Project, an exploratory health risk mapping conducted in waste picker cooperatives in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The Cuidar Project is a joint initiative of WIEGO’s Social Protection and Urban Policies Programmes. The ergonomics workshop was funded through a grant obtained from the Maquilladora Health and Safety Support Network (MHSSN) and support from WIEGO’s Social Protection and Urban Policies Programmes along with the Workers’ Health Without Borders (WHWB) group.
