Visita técnica como instrumento relevante no processo de ensino-aprendizagem na área de segurança do trabalho

Abstract

Education in Occupational Safety Engineering is aimed at training professionals capable of identifying, evaluating and controlling risks in the workplace, with the aim of preventing accidents and occupational illnesses. This field of engineering focuses on the safety and well-being of workers, bringing together technical and regulatory knowledge to promote safer environments. In the field of teaching, learning spaces outside the classroom are possible for conducting instructional practices. In this context, the activity of technical visits is included. Based on this, the objective of this study is to highlight the contribution of the technical visit in the context of teaching occupational safety. For this, the research methodology used consisted of bibliographic, descriptive, analytical and pure typologies. In this way, this research was predominantly configured as a literature review. The results presented revealed the benefits of the visit activity for the connection between theoretical and practical aspects, for the development of skills and competencies, for the motivation of students, for promoting the importance of safety and for increasing teaching work. Therefore, it was concluded that the technical visit can be used as an effective teaching resource in the area of occupational safety and to improve occupational safety in the places where it is carried out.
