Estudo sobre a percepção da necessidade de uso de equipamento de proteção Individual e sua real utilização por operários da construção civil

Abstract

In the last seven (7) years, approximately 4.5 million work-related accidents occurred in Brazil, of which 16,900 were fatal accidents, according to data from the Fundacentro 2013 bulletin, considering only official data, but in reality due to informality, these figures are accidents are mostly linked to informal employment, since the more informal workers, the more likely this is to cause accidents, are exposed to different risks, due to the lack of knowledge and non-compliance with Regulatory Standards among other factors. (TOSMANN, 2018). Therefore, the present study has as its proposal, the comparative study, based on the normative rules - NR's, and the case study, in a comparative between theory and practice, in order to presume, the perception by workers, the need to use the Personal Protection Equipment in relation to its actual use at the construction site. Considering the results analyzed and obtained, it is concluded that all the works need planning regarding safety and health at work, and the great impasse lies in the responsible ones assuming their responsibilities and implanting the rules of the norms in their works. The results obtained reflect the importance that must be given to this problem, since civil construction is one of the sectors that most hire labor, are a group that are more exposed to the risks than other professions, and that contributes significantly to growth of the economy.
