The companies invested in the modernization of the jobs of seeking to increase the production and to improve the financial results, this because the market became more competitive. On the other hand, this competitiveness generated more demands by increasing the number of injuries and withdrawals due to ergonomic reasons.

The SF- 36 questionnaire aims to evaluate health-related quality of life, it is self-applied and it was possible to evaluate the quality of life of the employees of Meta Tecnologia em Software located in the city of Londrina-PR. The responsible physiotherapist used the RULA methodology, which is composed of body posture diagrams to evaluate exposure to risk factors and the Couto checklist consisting of 26 items divided into 6 domains to determine the ergonomic risk of the activities performed. He also stated that the activities performed by the company's employees are not at high risk and that the investment in furniture, work activities and adaptations would improve the complaints of pain and absences at work.
