Mapa de Risco: Identificação dos riscos da oficina mecânica da Universidade Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

This paper aims to create a risk map in the Mechanical Workshop of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Federal University of Paraíba and discuss its importance to the health and safety of users, as well as the proportion of improvements for the studied environment. Risk map is a graphical representation of a set of factors that can cause damage to the health of workers in the workplace. Its preparation should be carried out with the presence of professionals who work in the workplace, to facilitate the identification of environmental risks present. Through mapping it is possible to collect or as much information about the risks that professionals are exposed to. The main risks used in the hazard map are: biological, physical, chemical, ergonomic, and accident hazards. No risk map is used circles of different cores and sizes to show locations, such as intensities and factors that can generate hazardous conditions. The development of the risk map was established by ordinances of the Ministry of Labor, where the NR (regulated standard) 5 determines as CIPAS (Internal Accident Prevention Commission) of the companies that are responsible for its preparation. Among the risk mapping functions, in addition to presenting and pointing out the hazards encountered, an approach to employee behavior and behavior that uses risk present in the workplace can also be addressed, contributing to the development of solutions and risk control. Thus, it is expected that this work will contribute to the operation and improvement of the conditions of use of the machine shop and signal the risks caused in each space
