Avaliação de risco em uma associação de segregação de materiais recicláveis localizada no estado do Paraná

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual theoretical approach of qualitative assessment of environmental hazards defined by regulatory standards and Brazilian ordinances. The objectives of this study were to analyze the working environment as well as develop a flowchart of activities carried out by the members; identify and evaluate qualitatively the risks that members are subject in the development of their activities in accordance with the guidelines of the Ordinance No. 25 of 1994 and elaborate the risk Map. A visit in April of 2016 was realized for verification of the conditions of work, as well as the infrastructure, existing equipment and for the analysis of potential environmental risks that the associates are subject. (Observations were made in the development of their work, step by step). The evaluations were carried out qualitatively and based on the Ordinance No. 25 of 1994. With these considerations was made the risk map with the aid of free software for AUTO CAD student version 2015. In relation to risk analysis, the use of PPE was instructed by NR 6 and for analysis of machinery condition was used the NR 12. It was concluded, that the members are directly exposed to all risks (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and accidents). They do not have actions to minimize it and they do not have the habit of using PPE. The municipal administration is interested in helping, but reported that in this moment has no resources for it. The biggest problem encountered by members are the thefts that occur in the Association, due to lack of protection.
