Análise do trabalho em altura em uma unidade de referência de beneficiamento de sementes e grãos

Abstract

Within grain and seed processing units, there is a great demand for activities involving work at height, and often the correct safety procedures are not followed, causing serious accidents and inconvenience. The objective of this work is to evaluate and identify the existing work sites at a height of a Seed Processing Plant. The work was carried out at the Federal Institute Farroupilha - Alegrete Campus (IFFar) and aims to establish the minimum requirements for identification and evaluation of work spaces at height, according to NR 35, and applying the appropriate control and protection measures. Work at height is characterized by any activity performed above 2.00 m (two meters) from the lower level, where there is a risk of falling. With a preventive view, a qualitative assessment will be carried out through a checklist of the potential risks of losses within the work activities at UBS. Adequacy and implementation of procedures were suggested as measures to provide more safety to workers and the environment.
