Verificação do cumprimento da NR-35 no complexo fotovoltaico de minigeração de ouro branco

Abstract

A number of factors, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, water shortages and population growth, have resulted in an increase in energy consumption and costs in Brazil, which has encouraged people to look for alternative ways of generating energy, especially solar photovoltaics. This phenomenon has boosted progress in this sector, leading to an increase in the number of professionals working in it. However, due to precarious supervision, individuals without the appropriate qualifications have entered this market, thus amplifying the risks associated with this type of activity. The aim of this study is to analyze the risks faced by employees working at height in a photovoltaic mini-generation plant in Ouro Branco/AL, based on NR 35. The research was carried out between July and September 2023 by applying a questionnaire at a photovoltaic mini-generation plant in Ouro Branco - Alagoas, in order to find out about the profile of these professionals, as well as the adversities and dangers to which they are exposed. All the information was then submitted to descriptive statistical analysis in Excel and represented graphically. As a result, it can be seen that, from the perspective of the workers assessed, the main threats to the exercise of their activity are the risk of falling from a height and the risk of electric shock. In addition, there are various internal and external factors that can have a negative impact on the proper development of this activity, such as the lack of planning for the execution of works and the absence of appropriate equipment. Thus, it is clear that all the difficulties revolve around the deficiency or even absence of supervision.
