Abstract

Work safety is the set of activities and procedures aimed at the safety of the employee in his work environment, such activities include a framework of preventive measures that aim to reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace and provide a safer and more pleasant environment for that the employee can be developing his daily activities in the best possible way. Safety measures aimed at preventing fire principles and the emergence of panic have as their main objective the physical integrity and preservation of life of all the people who attend an organization every day. The risks of an occurrence caused by a fire principle are directly associated with the physical conditions of the building, as well as the inadequate storage of materials and mainly the lack of preventive measures and fire fighting, as well as the lack of signaling and definition of escape routes for a safe evacuation of the building in a state of emergency, due to the action of a fire. Thus, the present research focused on prevention and safety against fire and panic in the Military Police Academy "Gonçalves Dias". The objective of the research is to implement a safety and prevention project against such accidents and the formation of an internal fire fighting brigade in the APMGD, in addition to training and qualification of its public to be using in a correct way the equipment to combat the principle of fire whenever necessary. Such concern arose from the observation of the lack of basic safety equipment against a fire principle in this educational institution, as well as the lack of an internal brigade to act in this type of occurrence, associated to the lack of specific knowledge of how to behave in front of such accident, a fact verified through the application of a questionnaire among the cadets of the APMGD. Using the quantitative method that consists of data collection and, subsequently, the analysis of graphs and tables, making use, therefore, of statistical practices where the results of the observations will always be expressed through numerical values.
