Análise de uma operação de elevação e transporte de uma perfuratriz compacta durante a ampliação de uma unidade de saúde hospitalar na cidade de Curitiba/PR

Abstract

Load lifting activities require high safety levels for their correct execution, as well as good practices adopted by employees. Conversely, there are always risks associated with load handling operations in civil construction projects. Such risks are substantially higher depending on the neighborhood, especially in the case of third parties. Moreover, it is not possible to ignore external factors, especially in large cities where the available space is generally small and the risks tend to be higher due to the presence of strangers in nearby areas. The main objective of this study is to analyze a lifting and transport operation of a compact drilling rig, which occurred in a hospital expansion project in Curitiba/PR. The methodology consisted of document analysis, studies and planning of the operation with cranes, scheduling of demands and inspections of the work environment. Data about the ages, experience time and updating courses of the employees were also collected, as well as checklist forms. Despite the risks associated with the activity and the potential for severe damage, there were no registers of accidents or non-compliances. In a general context, it may be inferred that the protocols adopted in the study can be replicated in similar activities in the future or, at least, to guide civil engineers and interested peopled in other planning and decision-making operations.
