SEGURANÇA DO TRABALHO NA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL EM CANTEIRO DE OBRA: Um estudo de aplicação da NR-18 na Cidade de Boa Esperança MG

Abstract

This work demonstrates the importance of applying the NR-18 on construction sites and analyzes three works in the city of Boa Esperança MG regarding compliance with mandatory items. This approach is justified by the lack of surveys on compliance with this standard in civil construction works in the municipality. This work was developed as a case study, applying the checklist methodology available in NR-18. The study showed that only work 3 (03) evaluated fulfilled more than 50% of the mandatory items, obtaining an overall average of 89.8%, while work 1 (01) had a general average of 69% and work 2 (02 ) 61%. From these results, it is shown that there is a lack of understanding and application of the standard, which justifies the high number of items out of compliance. As soon as there is a joint awareness among all those involved in the works, in order to regularize the items in order to minimize the risk of accidents at the construction sites.
