Gerenciamento de riscos e segurança do trabalho na empresa Normal Company

Abstract

Work safety is the science that studies the possible causes of accidents and incidents during the worker's work activity (Occupational Health and Safety Management System Manual – SGSST, 2018). According to legislation, work accidents are preventable and have a major impact on productivity and the economy, in addition to great suffering for society. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), millions of occupational accidents occur every year worldwide, and a good part of them express negligence and social injustice, since there are countless ways to prevent and reduce the occurrence of accidents at work, ranging from the simple use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the development of prevention programs and awareness weeks within the company. The costs of accidents at work are rarely accounted for, even in countries with important advances in the field of prevention, which marginalizes the worker and makes it difficult for the competent bodies to act. Going further, according to the provisions of Art. 20 of Law No. 8,213 / 91, occupational diseases, which are also considered accidents at work, increase these numbers at exponential levels. The objective of this work was to carry out a case study taking into account the operation of the company's headquarters and the construction of the effluent treatment station (ETE) located in the city of Maceió - AL, analyzing the data collected during the surveys and comparing them with what is defined by the laws that define the norms of regularity for worker safety and health. Data collection showed that the company needs to make changes, such as the implementation of OSH execution tools, to ensure the responsible and healthy functioning of the company. In addition, it was noticed that the company's daily routine differs considerably from some parameters required by law.
