Levantamento do custo do não cumprimento dos requisitos da NR-18 em uma obra

Abstract

In the context of an increasingly competitive industry, the search for cost reduction in Civil Construction has intensified in recent years. However, by inadvertently reducing spending on Occupational Health and Safety, or by not investing in the actions necessary for the full application of standards in a sector with a high rate of workplace accidents, the employer may end up placing an even greater burden on their business. This study aims to demonstrate the degree of compliance of a work in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, with the regulations established by NR-18. For this, a case study was carried out, using a selection list based on the content of NR-18 in a specific work. Throughout this work, we present the main concepts that must be considered in a more detailed analysis of the impacts caused by work accidents and their financial consequences, highlighting the importance of complete compliance with this standard. The percentage of adequacy to the items applicable to the current phase of the scientific work was 74%, according to the proposed checklist. It was also found that the costs to adapt the work to NR-18 represented around 10% of the cost of fines and deliberations applicable in the event of inspection.
