As áreas de vivência dos canteiros de obra de Guarapuava propiciam condições mínimas de higiene, conforto e igualdade de gênero para os trabalhadores?

Abstract

To this day, it is still common to find living areas on construction sites that are not adequately installed and equipped for food, hygiene, or changing clothes for employees. It is also possible to observe a low number of women working on these sites. This study aims to identify the conditions of such facilities in construction areas in the city of Guarapuava, Paraná, as well to ascertain dignified working conditions for workers in these locations in relation to gender equality. The analysis was carried out using a checklist that verified the degree of compliance of the works with the requirements established by NRs 18 and 24 and also with other requirements that guarantee gender equality in workplaces. Regarding Regulatory Standards (NRs), it is worth noting that the cafeteria was the facility that obtained the most satisfactory result, achieving a compliance rate of 82%, while the locker room had the lowest level, recording only 46%. Additionally, the gender equality assessment revealed a worrying level of compliance of just 11%. This study highlights the irregularities identified on construction sites, as well as the gender inequality present in these work environments. The aim is to provide guidance for the adequate organization and execution of living areas, aiming to ensure dignified and wholesome working conditions for workers, as well as promoting the inclusion of women in this sector.
