Utilização do sistema limitador de queda em altura em uma construção vertical em Londrina-PR: estudo de caso

Abstract

Despite the downturn in the construction industry in 2017, the sector continues to play a key role in the country's economy. In contrast, in 2016, according to data from the MTE, the industry sector with the highest rate of accidents at work. Among the accidents that occur in civil construction one of the most worrisome causes and that generate great rates of fatality and injuries is the fall in height. Therefore the present work presents two alternatives of collective protections, which are: the secondary platforms and S.L.Q.A. (limiting system to fall in height), describing the basic requirements to comply with current regulatory standards. It also carries out a case study carried out in a construction company in the city of Londrina-PR that implemented the S.L.Q.A. for the first time in one of his ventures. In this study it was possible to observe the agreement of the implementation with the normative requirements, to identify the risks of the processes of installation and ascension of the system, the risks of the activities that are protected by the system, and finally to perform a comparison with the system of secondary platforms used until then by the builder. From the results it was observed that the S.L.Q.A. is safer than secondary platforms, and the difference in deployment cost can be minimized by reuse on consecutive works, and maintenance during use is critical.
