Riscos ocupacionais da construção civil: análise do trabalho dos gesseiros e pedreiros no município de Santo Amaro - BA.

Abstract

This study addresses the occupational risks faced by construction workers, plasterers and bricklayers, both self-employed or employed under the CLT (Consolidated Labor Laws). To achieve the objective of analyzing the perception of occupational risks to which these professionals are subject, the methodology included the administration of an electronic questionnaire to analyze their working conditions. Twenty-three workers between the ages of 22 and 52 participated in the study, and the results indicated that the main risk factors are poor posture, heavy lifting, and long working hours. The study also identified the presence of other factors, such as noise, exposure to dust and chemicals, as well as accident risks. Preventive measures, such as the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Collective Protective Equipment (CPE), are also discussed, as well as the importance of ergonomics in improving working conditions, reducing accidents, and promoting the quality of life of professionals. The study concluded that implementing ergonomic practices, training, and safety awareness are essential to minimize risks and increase productivity.
