Abstract

In the work context, the application of Occupational Safety tools provides the opportunity to build environments that are compatible with professional practice in a safe way. In addition to this field, Solid Residues Management is an area that holds resources that lead to the structuring of sustainable operations from an environmental point of view. With these instruments, benefits are observed in multiple social spaces, including in religious temples. In this way, this work aimed to promote improvements and good practices in a religious temple through the use of aspects of the Fundamentals of Occupational Safety and of Solid Residues Management. For this purpose, the activities of the employees of the janitorial team of the religious temple were analyzed and a training was carried out regarding the improvement of the promotion of the safety and health of these workers in their activities. In addition, an implementation plan was organized for the segregation of solid residues at source, generated at the study place, using management mechanisms and Environmental Education strategies. Six janitorial employees were trained about safety and solid residues segregation. Regarding the exclusive approach about solid residues segregation, nine employees in the administrative sector received individual guidance. In total, 15 people were approached and 73 solid residues packers received identification stickers. The actions taken resulted in gains both for janitors and the environment. Such achievements reveal the usefulness and importance of behaviors that converge to social, economic and environmental advantages.
