Abstract

The solidarity economy's has emerged as alternative source of employment and income, which in essence there are values of cooperation, democracy and solidarity. In solidarity economy's concern with social inclusion that generates economic benefits and improved health and work. Based on that thought there was the ergonomic analysis of work (EAW) of bobbin lace makers of the Association of Artisans Saubara, a city in Recôncavo Baiano. The results of EAW for bobbin lace makers proved inadequate postural conditions during the render, an aspect that can damage the spine and upper limbs. From the analysis of these data was proposed to create a support for the cushions, where rents are made by the method of participatory design. It is hoped that this support can improve quality of life of bobbin lace makers of Saubara, Bahia and that this initiative can be replicated by the lace makers in other regions of Brazil.
