Abstract
The analysis of Mans’ interaction with the elements of a system has a fundamental purpose in the ergonomic analysis of work situations, as well as, in the design of new tasks and products. This analysis involves the collection of Human activitys’ information, in specific conditions, in a usable format to be used in the following stages, particularly in ergonomic intervention. In this work a systematic method is presented for observation of the behavior of workers’ interaction in a real work situation.
