A importância da aplicação do PGR para um canteiro de obras seguro e saudável

Abstract

Civil construction moves the economy and develops the country, but it also presents a worrying picture in terms of high rates of accidents, occupational diseases and problems related to the conditions of the work environment. In other words, it needs a better performance in Safety and Health at Work. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System enables the anticipation and prevention of risks at each stage of the service, creating a safe and productive work environment. The Risk Management Program is a management tool used at construction sites, which facilitates the identification of hazards and assessment of occupational risks, including at least a risk inventory and an action plan. The objective of this work is to study the application of the Risk Management Program, as part of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, in a construction company. Therefore, a case study was carried out, where relevant information for the research was collected. The results showed that the implementation of the program is important for the improvement of safety and quality.
