Análise da percepção de riscos de trabalhadores da construção civil no trabalho em altura: Estudo de caso

Abstract

The civil construction is a sector that has been losing many employees every year, victims of accidents at work at altitude that result in deaths. This research aims to analyze the Perception of Risks of Civil Construction Workers in Working at Altitude, considering that falls from altitudes represent 40% of accidents at work in Brazil. The Regulatory Norms establish minimum requirements for the health and physical integrity of the worker to be maintained. Therefore, it is necessary to have knowledge about the perception of risks that they themselves have. A descriptive and quantitative survey is then carried out using a questionary released in digital format, containing closed-type questions and checkboxes. Questions were developted to know the profile of the respondent; the company profile according to the requirements of the Regulatory Standards; about the professional trajectory of the respondents; their knowledge about working at altitudes and disseminating information at the construction sites. The results show that workers receive training, but do not give importance to it and the risks of accidents involving work at altitude.
