Avaliação da conscientização dos trabalhadores de uma cozinha industrial em relação à utilização de EPI e à segurança do trabalho

Abstract

Activities developed in restaurants, whether small or large, also offer numerous risks of accidents to workers. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of Personal Protective Equipment (EPIs) and the safety awareness of the work of workers in an industrial kitchen. For the presentation of the results obtained in this case study, a multiple choice questionnaire was used in order to measure the issues addressed. It is concluded that a large part of the team uses the PPE correctly in their functions and is aware of their need. However, half of the employees interviewed report feeling discomfort and difficulties to carry out the activities using them, a fact that often leads employees not to use PPE correctly. It can be affirmed that the Program of Work Safety and Accident Prevention that has been development with the employees of the evaluated company is reaching good results, since all employees acknowledge the existence and the application of the program and 94% affirm to act in a safe way in their activities by the awareness of the importance of guaranteeing their own safety, and not only to meet the demands of the company
