The present study analyzed the ergonomic conditions of an aluminum pot riveting workstation in a household utensils factory in Juazeiro do Norte (CE). It is a qualitative, exploratory and explanatory case study. The field research was developed based on Regulatory Standard No. 17 (NR-17), and was based on technical visits and interviews with the riveting worker and the production manager. Results revealed inadequate thermal and lumen conditions, excessive work rate and seat discomfort. The main proposals for interventions are: installation of more efficient luminaires and evaporative cooling and ventilation system for different thermal characteristics of the year, combined with the widening of window openings; insertion of breaks to relieve the work pace; and acquisition of a chair adapted to the characteristics of the worker.
