As normas de segurança e saúde no trabalho aplicadas às atividades de campo do engenheiro agrimensor e cartógrafo

Abstract

The field activity of surveying engineers and cartographers exposes them to various occupational risks, as they often work in the open, close to ditches and ditches, for a long time in static postures, close to vehicle traffic, in forested or flooded regions, between others. Prolonged exposure to these factors can have serious consequences for your health. Therefore, this monograph addresses the role of occupational safety in Surveying and Cartographic Engineering, highlighting the need to eliminate or reduce hazards in the work environment. To this end, qualitative research was carried out, in the form of a bibliographic study, in two databases, namely SciELO and Google Scholar, in search of scientific articles, dissertations and theses. Books were also consulted in libraries. We found that when these risks are known and preventive measures are adopted, the health and safety of these professionals are preserved. When safety is not neglected, it reflects positively on both workers and organizations. We emphasize that Brazilian Regulatory Standards (NRs), combined with awareness, are essential for carrying out safe work. We therefore describe the main risks for professionals working in Surveying and Cartographic Engineering, such as falls, electric shocks and exposure to the sun, emphasizing awareness of the risks, preventive measures and the appropriate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). And we conclude by noting the need for a specific approach to evaluating the safety of professionals, as this makes it possible to make health compatible with the performance of their work activities. In summary, we emphasize the importance of workplace safety in Surveying Engineering, describing the risks and relevant safety standards, highlighting the need for research and specific training to ensure the safety of these professionals.
