Análise dos acidentes de trabalho na construção civil entre 2012 e 2017 no Brasil com foco em Goiás

Abstract

Civil construction is one of the sectors with great representation in the economic scenario and in the absorption of labor. However, it is also the sector responsible for generating major damage to the country, due to the high number of occupational accidents that occurred. Thus, the present study sought to conduct an analysis of occupational accidents, focusing on construction, between 2012 and 2017, in Brazil and Goiás. For this purpose, the survey of the number of occupational accidents that occurred in construction was made. through the Statistical Yearbook of Accidents at Work. Then, the economic classification with the highest number of accidents was identified, and then, through the Digital Observatory of Health and Safety, the most frequent classification was detailed in terms of occupations susceptible to accidents and the causative agents. The construction industry accounted for about 8% of the total occupational accidents in Brazil and Goiás and the most representative activity was the construction of buildings. A close relationship was identified between the occurrence of accidents, the development of the sector and the qualification of the workforce. Thus, it is clear that there is a need to implement more efficient management systems that are capable of acting throughout the production process.
