Avaliação da segurança do trabalho na construção civil em período de pandemia na cidade de Goiânia, Goiás

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Civil construction provides important economic and social development, considering that, in addition to generating income, it also generates jobs and infrastructure for the population. In this sense, civil construction influences thousands of direct and indirect jobs in industries, contractors, suppliers, and material transporters. Thus, it is certain that work is a significant activity in the life of human beings. However, sometimes it can cause risks and accidents. In this sense, such situations lead to the adoption of measures to prevent the exposure of workers to existing risks in occupational health and safety. Currently, in addition to the known risks, we also had to deal with a pandemic that also influenced civil construction. Therefore, occupational safety seeks to prevent these occupational accidents, based on a set of activities of anticipation, recognition, assessment, and control of occupational risks. In order to discuss the matter and present possible solutions, we intend with this work to investigate, in a qualitative and comparative way, the main risks and causes of accidents in engineering works, and, nevertheless, to present some solutions to the problems raised.
