MANEJO DE RESÍDUOS E SAÚDE OCUPACIONAL EM UMA OFICINA MECÂNICA DE CAMPO GRANDE - MS

Abstract

This study analyzes solid waste management and occupational safety in a mechanical workshop in Campo Grande, MS, within a national context where the country reuses only 1.3% of the materials it consumes. The central objective is to diagnose handling practices and demonstrate the imperative need to implement a Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS), aiming for legal compliance with current laws and regulations. The methodology is based on a case study with a technical classification of waste based on NBR 10,004/2004 and the principles of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). The results show that although the establishment utilizes reverse logistics for batteries and specialized collection for used lubricating oil, critical flaws persist, such as the absence of an oil-water separator tank and the irregular disposal of contaminated tow and filters in regular trash. It concludes that the structuring of the PGRS, combined with team training and the strict use of PPEs, is fundamental to mitigate environmental impacts and ensure operational sustainability, assisting in the transition to a circular economy in the local automotive sector.
