Contemporary ergonomics encompasses the adaptation of work to human capabilities, integrating physical, cognitive, and organizational dimensions, especially in complex industrial environments influenced by Industries 4.0 and 5.0. There is a lack of systemic approaches that analyze, in an integrated way, the storage process, considering its multiple stages and combined risks, particularly in real-world contexts such as the Manaus Industrial Hub. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the ergonomic implications of the material storage process, identifying risks at each stage and their impacts on workers' health and performance. The method used was qualitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional, with direct observation and interviews, and analyzed each stage of the storage process, listing its ergonomic implications. Physical, chemical, and cognitive risks were identified across all stages, with particular emphasis on manual labor, high temperatures, chemical substances, and the risk of serious accidents, often cumulatively. The conclusion shows that the process presents high ergonomic complexity and weaknesses that compromise safety and operational efficiency, which require structural interventions. The study goes further by proposing an integrated analysis of ergonomics in warehousing, highlighting the interdependence between risks and reinforcing the need for systemic approaches in industrial management.
