Análise e gerenciamento de risco do Laboratório de Ensino de Engenharia Química (LEEQ) da Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

The teaching and research laboratories are extremely important spaces within the university that require a great deal of use among students, professors, researchers, interns, and employees. These laboratories are considered places of high potential risk caused by physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and accident agents. However, even in the face of so many risks, safety aspects are often neglected within this environment due to a lack of knowledge of risks and user information, leaving it even more prone to accidents. To mitigate these risks, Brazilian legislation recommends, through Regulatory Norms, actions aimed at guaranteeing health and safety at work, in addition to some tools such as the risk map that helps in the identification and knowledge of the environmental risks that users are subject to in the environment. and the Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products, which is a document containing important information for the management of chemical products. Thus, the present work had as its objective to carry out a survey and evaluation of the occupational risks inherent to the activities carried out in a chemical engineering teaching laboratory located at the Federal University of Alagoas, in addition to the elaboration of a risk map and assumptions of possible measures, to minimize the risks of accidents.
