Projeto zero acidentes nos setores de engenharia e manutenção da indústria produtora de aminoácidos

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of workplace accidents, which not only cause physical and emotional harm to employees, but also generate financial losses and impact the company’s reputation. In 2022, Company 1 recorded two incidents involving lost time within a 2-month period, highlighting the urgent need for a more effective approach to workplace safety, especially in the Engineering and Maintenance sector, which had 94% of accidents involving outsourced employees. To resolve this issue, several actions were proposed, including analyzing incident history, identifying root causes, conducting interviews and implementing a safety culture maturity program. The solution chosen was the implementation of the “Zero Accidents Project”, which focused on structural and cultural actions to promote a change in behavior among employees and strengthen the safety culture in the company. The expected result from implementing the project was the elimination of workplace accidents, ensuring a safe environment for all employees. After implementing the proposed initiatives, such as continuous training and promoting a culture of prevention, the company did not record any incidents, with or without leave, in the Engineering and Maintenance sector. This positive result not only protected the health and physical integrity of the team, but also reinforced Company 1’s reputation as a reference in safe production, demonstrating the effectiveness of the action plan adopted.
