Programa de controle de energias perigosas em uma indústria de fabricação de filmes plásticos: estudo de caso.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the implementation of the Hazardous Energy Control Program (PCEP) in a laminated plastic film company, with the purpose of ensuring worker safety during the maintenance, repair, disassembly, or inspection of machines and equipment. The study addresses the risks of accidents caused by the unexpected release of energy during these activities and explores the development of standardized procedures to control such energies. To achieve these objectives, an analysis of the relevant regulations was conducted, complemented by a case study that included data collection on accidents in the city of Vitória da Conquista, as well as technical visits to the company. These steps contributed to a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the application of PCEP in the local industry. The analysis demonstrated that the implementation of the program is crucial for worker safety during maintenance activities, reinforcing the importance of strict lockout/tagout procedures for controlling hazardous energies within the company.
