Saúde e segurança no trabalho em obras civis: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The work safety sector in civil engineering that we find today has undergone several changes and improvements over the years. However, it is necessary for construction companies to offer better working conditions following guidelines established by the Occupational Health and Safety Policy responsible for offering a set of programs, actions and responsibilities allowing for risk management and control of the generating causes. In this way, the need to collect data that compose the causes of accidents and the improvement in the employee's quality of life emerged. The objective of this work was to propose the identification of accident risks in civil works and the use of facilitating tools for their reduction. This is a Systematic Literature Review. For the analysis, a total of 78 studies published from 2012 onwards in the Scielo databases and the Google Scholar search engine were selected. The analysis was divided into three main stages: in the first stage, works related to the theme were selected, in the second stage, the reading of their abstracts was carried out, and in the third stage, the complete analysis, to which the 21 most relevant articles will be presented in the results and discussion. From the analysis of the data present in the literature, it was possible to highlight that the management, inspection and execution sectors must walk in line with the strategic principles proposed by the PSST. Since working conditions in a civil environment make safe practice unfeasible in a construction environment, it is necessary to implement technologies and strategies for the dissemination of information, inspection of the work routine, specialized and continuous monitoring, referrals to health services, availability and correct use of protection materials and notifications about risk-causing agents, aiming at a complete monitoring of the routine of construction workers and promoting not only their safety but also the promotion of health.
