Analise da saúde e segurança do trabalho em obras de pequeno porte da cidade de São Luís do Maranhão

Abstract

In this paper an analysis was made about the Occupational Safety and Health in small sized constructions, analyzing all the safety and prevention measures inside the constructions sites approached in the city of São Luís of Maranhão. First of all, to obtain these data, a small interview with a work auditor of that city was done to understand, from the point of view of a professional in the area, the way in which this kind of construction is treated and supervised in comparison to big sized constructions, then, visits were made to small sized constructions, where approaches were made to the people responsible for the work, through a questionnaire, to verify if the working environment was adequate to the main regulatory standards, and thus, offering safety conditions to the workers. The results showed that small sized constructions do not have so much visibility in the society mainly because they are works of short duration and are not easy to identify, which also makes it difficult to supervise. It was concluded, therefore, that in the small sized the NR's were not fulfilled, in addition, most of those responsible for the works, approached, showed total ignorance of these, including NR 18, exclusive to civil construction, which ends up becoming one of the largest responsible for the accident at work. Thus, with the results found and developed in this paper, it is proposed that firstly access to the Regulatory Norms be facilitated and made aware of all citizens so that one can understand the importance of safety at work as a means of preventing accidents, and also that , it is done within the training courses of managers a greater commitment to transmit the importance of security within small or large sized constructions, so that the technical responsible has greater understanding in the subject and can transmit to the worker
