Análise da segurança do trabalho em estruturas de concreto armado com check list conforme NR 18

Abstract

The Civil Construction industry is a sector that suffers significant impact caused by the financial scenario. In a situation of high economic performance, there is shortage of labor and great turnover in the labor market and with this a lower requirement of the companies as the experience of the worker to be hired. When a worker is placed in a service, such as the Armed Concrete Structures, he or she must be trained to obtain minimum safety requirements and techniques for performing the services. There are cases in which the employer provides all the necessary resources to the worker to be fit for the service to be performed, but normally, due to the reduction of the effective staff, the worker is motivated to produce more in less time, which can cause Accidents. To avoid these cases, companies use control tools, such as the Work Safety Inspection checklist, to reduce accidents and improve the work environment. Among the stages of building construction, the execution of the reinforced concrete structure is of great importance, as it guarantees the stability of the building and also, because it is one of the stages that require greater care since it is where more accidents occur. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the checklist elaborated in accordance with the requirements of NR-18, for work safety supervision in the stage of the execution of the reinforced concrete structure in building works, addressing items 18.8 (Steel Frames) and 18.9 (Concrete Structure). The methodology used was the case study, which was classified as a qualitative approach. Among the main results it was observed that there is a shortage of specialized professionals for the supervision of the works and that specific management meetings are not held for the orientation of those involved in the tasks and for the search for solutions to minimize accidents.
