Proposta de plano de gestão de riscos ocupacionais para a Empresa Zaida Construções

Abstract

The occupational risk management plan is a crucial tool for identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards, particularly in high-risk sectors like construction. This study aimed to propose an occupational risk management plan for Zaida Construções. Risk identification was conducted through technical visits, inspections, and interviews with supervisors and workers. The W.T. Fine methodology was employed to evaluate risks (Exposure Factor × Probability Factor × Consequence Factor), facilitating the prioritisation of critical areas and the definition of effective preventive and corrective measures. Key identified risks include inhalation of dust, falls in excavations, cuts and punctures, exposure to particulate matter (PM), excessive effort, improper postures, electrical hazards, and collisions between equipment and workers. The most significant risks highlighted were falls from height, excessive effort, improper postures, electrical shocks, cuts and punctures, and inhalation of gases and PM. Conversely, risks like noise and vibration exposure were deemed acceptable. For critical risks, implemented management measures proved adequate and effective in substantially reducing accident probabilities. The adoption of personal protective equipment (PPE), safety practices, and ergonomics training were the primary measures applied.
