Análise de risco para saúde e segurança em obras de pequeno porte na cidade de Barra do Garças – MT

Abstract

This work presents a discursive approach regarding the health and safety of workers in small construction in the civil construction, focused on constructions that do not have a well-defined construction site. The main objective of the research is analyzing the factors and risks generated in the health and safety of workers in small works, without the adequate structuring of the construction site, present in the city of Barra do Garças - MT. The study and discursive analysis were necessary in order to obtain answers regarding the aspects that favor the risk of accidents and the deterioration of the health of the worker, considering the relation of personal protection equipment (PPE) and equipment of collective protection (ECP), as well as the organization, order and cleanliness of the construction environment. The applied research method was in loco observation, application of closed and structured questionnaires. The results showed that most professionals have little knowledge about Regulatory Standards, especially NR-18 and that their actions have not provided consistent discussions and prevention about health and safety. It was also observed that although the professionals affirm that they use EPI and EPC daily, they were not found in the works visited. The self-employed professionals who work in the works do not have the opportunity or feel the need to seek a training course to improve the methods used to carry out the work, generating a vicious circle that contributes to accidents and incidents.
