Abstract(s)
A indústria da construção civil tem registado um crescimento acelerado nas últimas
décadas. Prova disso é a dimensão financeira do mercado que orbita à volta desta
indústria. Alguns dos seus projetos possuem grande dimensão territorial, elevados
orçamentos de execução, e alta complexidade do ponto de vista técnico da engenharia
civil e arquitetura.
A quantidade substancial de recursos humanos e não humanos envolvidos na construção
civil torna os seus estaleiros de obra em ambientes complexos, propícios a acidentes. As
quedas são a segunda maior causa de acidentes, provocando lesões graves e permanentes
ou até a morte. Além da possibilidade de perda da vida humana existem outras
consequências implícitas, nomeadamente para os stakeholders do projeto. Algumas das
consequências assumem um carácter tangível, tais como: os custos por indemnização ao
trabalhador sinistrado; custos incorridos na contratação de um novo recurso para
substituição do sinistrado; custos inerentes à tomada de responsabilidades legais das
partes envolvidas no acidente; atrasos no cronograma de trabalhos, aumento dos custos
não previstos, entre outros. A ocorrência de acidentes também tem impacto, de forma
intangível, na reputação das organizações no mercado onde se inserem, relativamente aos
seus concorrentes, clientes e também no recrutamento de recursos humanos.
Alguns dos métodos de mitigação dos riscos de segurança envolvem a identificação dos
riscos laborais no estaleiro, formação na utilização de maquinarias, equipamentos de
proteção individual, bem como a sensibilização para comportamentos seguros.
Adicionalmente, existe enquadramento legal relacionado com a gestão de saúde e
segurança no trabalho, estabelecendo conceitos e normas e a obrigatoriedade do uso de
Equipamentos de proteção individual . No entanto, verifica-se que as atuais práticas se encontram desconexas da realidade. Para
enfrentar este cenário no sector da construção civil, este trabalho propõe uma framework
de auditoria para gestão e supervisão de segurança de modo a contribuir para a otimização
de processos e tarefas de gestão e fiscalização da segurança em contexto de obra, tal como
a identificação de quedas de trabalhadores e a localização. Para tal, serão recolhidos os
dados relevantes do ambiente de obras e as condições fisiológicas dos trabalhadores.
ABSTRACT: The construction industry has seen accelerated growth in recent decades. Proof of this is the financial dimension of the market that orbits around this industry. Some of its projects have a large territorial dimension, high execution budgets, and high complexity from the technical point of view of civil engineering and architecture. The substantial human and non-human resources required in the construction industry make their construction sites complex environments and prone to accidents. Falls are the second most significant cause of accidents, causing severe and permanent injuries or even death. In addition to the possibility of loss of human life, there are other implicit consequences, particularly for project stakeholders. Some of those consequences are tangible, such as compensation costs for injured workers, expenses incurred in hiring a new resource to replace the injured party, costs inherent in taking legal responsibility for the parties involved in the accident, delays in the work schedule, and increased unforeseen costs, among others. Accidents also have an intangible impact on the reputation of organizations in the market in which they operate, in relation to their competitors and customers, and in the recruitment of human resources. Some mitigation safety risk methods involve identifying occupational risks on site, training in using machinery and personal protective equipment, and raising awareness of safe behavior. Additionally, some of the existing legal frameworks are related to managing health and safety at work, establishing concepts and standards, and the mandatory use of "Personal protective equipment (PPE)". However, it appears that current practices are disconnected from reality. To face this scenario in the construction sector, this work proposes an audit framework for safety management and supervision to contribute to the optimization of safety management and supervision processes and tasks in a construction context, such as identifying worker falls and location. To this end, relevant data on the construction environment and the physiological conditions of workers will be collected.
