The objective of this study was to develop an Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) in product sterilization area for health in a Basic Health Unit in western Santa Catarina, Brazil. The ergonomic approach followed four distinct stages characterized by demand analysis based on Collegiate Directory Resolution (CDR) 15 - National Health Surveillance Agency: analysis of tool construction of the minimum security of Material and Sterilization Center (MSC); tool construction for identification of compliance or not the tasks performed on MSC; instruments application; proposal formulation for adequacy of non-conformities found. The systematic showed possible situations to cause damage to health of workers and users of the health service involving: conformation of the physical structure and the organization of sterilization processes. Thus, the EWA, allowed greater interaction between teaching and service enabling point more accurately the risks in the workplace and formulate joint proposals for improving these conditions.
