Análise preliminar e controle de riscos de quedas nas atividades de instalação de elevadores

Abstract

Imagine a world with constructions that would not go beyond the third floor and that no one had sights as magnificent as the ones we can see today from the top of some of the greatest buildings on the planet. All this thanks to the development and improvement of one of the items that were fundamental for the advance of vertical expansion, the elevator. With the growth of civil construction increasing the vertical transportation sector, global figures show that there are 6.9 million elevators in the world and 350,000 new units are installed each year, transporting more than 2 billion people every day, that is what data from Otis Elevators shows, one of the largest companies in the segment. Hitching the vertical transportation sector that is directly connected with the civil construction, it was verified that in several segments of the construction, the risk of falling becomes worrisome. The Ministry of Labor and Employment stresses that 40% of work accidents that occur each year result from falls from height (revised protection on 11/13/2013). In order to reduce the number of accidents caused by the lack of knowledge of both the employer and the employee, the government did a Regulatory Norm No. 35, that was specific for working at a height (2.00 meters above the lower level), and to ensure that these works are done out safely. This work aims to show safer procedures and better control of accidental risks in elevator installation.
