Conscientização do uso de EPI’S, quanto à segurança pessoal e coletiva

Abstract

The personal protective equipment (PPE) is intended to protect workers from risks to their health and personal safety, but should be used only when it is impossible for a more effective control that would lead to the elimination of accident hazards in the working environment. Although there are numerous risks linked to the work environment in the beds, the lack of use of PPE remains one of the main factors that cause more serious accidents at work in construction. The study sought to demonstrate the risks present in the activities developed during the construction of a work, and technical measures (preventers) so the accident does not happen, extolling the importance of using protective equipment during the development of activities and the Rules that must be followed carefully by employees and employers. To develop this study applied a questionnaire where they were addressed aspects related to employees' data, with the population set to 80 people. It was noted that despite the efforts made by companies and even the staff, we still find job security as a background in the subject matter and even if everyone is aware of the importance of the use of PPE, we will not get never a result actually positive, while there is a lack of practice in advance.
