Análise de riscos aos trabalhadores na transformação de contêineres para uso habitacional

Abstract

In the search for sustainability, cost and time reduction, construction has begun to spread the idea of container reuse as a constructive alternative. This alternative is gaining more space in Brazil and because it is a new method of construction, the lack of information about the analysis of the risks of accidents present in this type of execution are numerous. Therefore, the aim of this work was to identify the risks involved in the main activities carried out in a company of the branch. The applied methodology was the Preliminary Risk Analysis (APR) method, which is a simple and efficient way to reduce the accidents, since it allows a general diagnosis on the risks generated in the services of cutting, painting, welding and finishing in containers. The results obtained after the application of this method indicated that the risks of higher incidence are those of injuries and cuts, resulting from cuts and finishing, followed by injuries to the eyes, inhalation of toxic products and burns. Moreover, those risks can be avoided through proper use of PPE, maintenance of equipment and proper training of employees.
