A importância da utilização de equipamento de proteção coletiva nos canteiros de obra de Goiânia

Abstract

The construction industry is constantly growing, thus resulting in new opportunities in this field of work. On the other hand, there are a large number of accidents in the workplace, thus leaving the sector with high risks of accidents, for example. It is important to know the factors that cause accidents such as environmental agents and the understanding of the system and equipment that will ensure the safety and health of the worker. In order to minimize the consequences of these accidents and the number of occurrences, this work aimed to develop the analysis of the use of Collective Protection Equipment (EPC) used in construction sites in the region of Goiânia, verifying the use of these equipment trying to identify the types. most common accidents. Through visits to construction sites, with the support of some regulatory standards as normative references, especially in NR 18 - Working conditions and environment in the construction industry, and NR 35 dealing with work at heights, it was found that collective protective equipment for height situations and basic signage in the flower beds are often neglected. On the other hand the use of siding, scaffolding protection, voltage sensing devices, and protection in stairs, ramps and horizontal plane devices are mostly installed and well used. The limitations of this work are directly related to the quantity and size of the works visited, and the analyzes made by this work will allow us to measure how the EPCs are being used.
