Análise preliminar de risco em uma linha de pintura semiautomática para peças plásticas automotivas

Abstract

The automotive sector in Brazil is one of the sectors that generates more employment, and that involves many people in their processes. Taking into account this large number of employees and the variety of existing processes, this is one of the sectors where there is great potential for occupational accidents, because there are complex processes and even with all the technology used in their machinery, there will always be manual labor, being intervention of professionals in the area of health and safety at work. The objective of the work is to carry out the Preliminary Risk Analysis (APR) in one of the most critical stages of the plastic components manufacturing process, the paint booth, identifying its risks and hazards so that they could be classified. For the case study, the applied methodology was initially to understand the general concepts of the risks involved in the process under analysis, the protection equipment, the process, the environment and the norms in force in our country, so as to follow in loco every process carried out in the cabin of paint and lift the data. As a result it was possible to recognize in the process the risks and dangers in which the workers were exposed, in this way, the probable causes and consequences of the damages were raised, as well as to determine its controls and to attribute to those responsible. As a conclusion, some recommendations were made through the APR, where with little investment and some analysis of PPE proposals can eliminate the risks, with the result that the company analyzed for the most part is in accordance with the norms in force in our country.
