Elaboração e aplicação de um checklist para determinação de multas pelo não cumprimento da NR 18 em um canteiro de obra

Abstract

Civil construction is a very promising activity, generating income, employment, development and innovation. There are many good points, but together with them, we can also mention that due to non-compliance with regulatory standards, civil construction is considered responsible for most of the workplace accidents in Brazil. In this way the objective of this monograph is to carry out the application of a checklist elaborated through a model used by the Public Labor Ministry, raising the nonconformities related to non-compliance with NR 18 in a construction site. The values of nonconformities are in accordance with the provisions of NR 28, which deals with supervision and penalties. The results show that the items that have the greatest difficulty in being followed in the work under study were related to worker protection against fall in height, much of them related to lack of projects and workers' culture. It can be concluded from the information analyzed that the costs of the fines can correspond approximately 3.6 to 4.4% of the total cost of the work, thus proving that investments with job security, besides having lower costs, productivity gains and improved safety conditions for workers.
