Abstract
The inclusion processes of people with disabilities in industrial production lines are being carried out. Thereby, getting to know the current workstations is important for planning, designing and developing new assistive technology products. Thus, this paper presents an analysis study of industrial manufacturing workstations based on the perception of workers without disabilities. For this, it relies on a survey with a questionnaire given to 222 workers from different processing industries. Analyzes are presented and interpreted in sets. It establishes that the inclusion processes are happening, but still in a superficial way. There is an inclusion gap directly related to the needs for modification and, in reality, favoring the inclusion of workers with milder disabilities.
