Manutenção preventiva como instrumento de segurança em edificações industriais

Abstract

The article aims to demonstrate how preventive maintenance can prove to be na effective instrument for the safety of industrial buildings. It is characterized as na exploratory research; descriptive and explanatory. With regard to the means, it is documentary and bibliographical. The article begins by discussing the building and its durability, explaining how the safety of a building depends very much on its useful life, which can be extended through preventive maintenance. Afterwards, maintenance is explored, beginning with its history and evolution, concepts that several authors have cited about it, their types - with a special focus on preventive maintenance - and their costs. In the sequence, it was investigated on the preventive maintenance in industrial buildings and its norms, to then immerse in maintenance as a security instrument. Finally, it was observed that the lack of maintenance in the buildings causes functional damage to the systems, early loss of performance and consequent reduction of the useful life, which results in greater expenses with corrective repairs and reforms, besides compromising the security of use of the installations and systems.
