Segurança do trabalho na construção civil : estudo em obras de pequeno porte na cidade de Santa Cruz do Sul.

Abstract

The present project shows the situation of the work environment in small construction sites in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul, regarding to work safety. The objective of the study was to do a general analysis on those construction sites, verifying the compliance of the Regulatory Norms, applying a questionnaire to workers, engineers and making a data conference in a check-list filled in by the author. For this, it was first necessary to make a bibliographic review in order to understand and guide the research and then, formulate and apply the questionnaires. Finally, the analysis of these questionnaires resulted in a low rate of people and companies that correctly comply with the Regulatory Norms. As a result, it was concluded that the small construction sector is not prepared to comply with the current legislation, as according to the analysis, there is no inspection by the regulators for these small constructions and because of this lack of inspection, engineers and workers have no interest in complying with that, claiming that it is a very high expense for the size of the work even though they understand that they are putting their own lives at risk.
