O TERAPEUTA OCUPACIONAL COMO CONSULTOR NA ADEQUAÇÃO DO LAYOUT DE UMA BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITÁRIA1

Objective: This article aims to present the diagnosis, development and planning of the Universidade\udFederal do Paraná library layout – UFPR campus of Rebouças, located in the city of Curitiba. Method: We\udadopted a methodological approach of qualitative nature and exploratory descriptive character using, initially,\udthe physical-environmental analysis with Ergonomics (NR 17) and Accessibility (NBR 9050) guiding principles.\udThe library diagnosis was then performed using data collected through observations in the library plant, photo\udcamera records and measurements taken with a measuring tape. Results: Based on the results from the library\udenvironment analysis, it was verified the need for adjustments as the evaluated environments did not meet the\udreference guidelines used. Thus, in order to implement the interventions proposed by the researchers, the University\udEngineering, Maintenance and Joinery department helped to make this environment accessible and appropriate to\udfuture users and library workers. Conclusion: The study highlights that the possibility environment adapting before\udthe operation favors a work space adequate to the development of the tasks, a work organization and maintenance\udof the users’ health, which will contribute to a satisfactory occupational performance when using this environmen
