Proposta de medidas de mitigação de riscos nas actividades da advanced intelligent systems (AIS)

Abstract

Health and safety issues at work are one of the current concerns of employers, because they understand that a safe work environment guarantees the physical and psychosocial health of workers, the prevention of occupational diseases and the promotion of productivity and cost reduction. To achieve this objective, a risk assessment is a necessary instrument, as it allows identifying potentially dangerous situations leading to accidents, estimating the frequency as well as the severity and the measures to be implemented. This study aimed to propose risk management measures, to achieve this,the dangers in the activities of the company Advanced Intelligent Systems (AIS) were identified. The occupational risk and accident assessment method (MARAT) was used to assess and quantify the magnitude of risks and define an order of priorities for intervention and correction of risks. The most common hazards were identified as vibrations, cable handling and noise and the most significant risks were hearing damage, disruption to physical and mental health and electric shock. For these risks, the main measures to be adopted were blocking the source of the place where the activity is carried out, carrying out the activity during off-time, checking the working condition of the tools, using tools equipped with anti-vibration handles, taking breaks during the carrying out of the activity and the use of PPE appropriate to the activity to be carried out.
