No mês de dezembro de 2020, os relatos de surtos com elevados números de infetados com o vírus SARS-Cov-2 e a doença COVID-19, em locais de trabalho, mesmo nas organizações que reiteraram ter aplicado as medidas de proteção exigidas no contexto de pandemia COVID-19, levantaram a questão sobre a correta aplicação do processo de gestão do risco e das medidas de proteção.
Esta pesquisa, teve como objetivo geral verificar a importância da gestão de riscos no combate à pandemia COVID-19, nos locais de trabalho. Sendo para isso necessário analisar as medidas de controlo do risco implementadas pelas organizações e se estas diminuíram a incidência da COVID-19 nos locais de trabalho e registar as opiniões dos colaboradores e estudantes, relativamente às condições de segurança e higiene no trabalho, em contexto de pandemia COVID-19.
Escolheu-se utilizar os inquéritos por questionário como método de recolha de dados, tendo sido construídos três inquéritos. Um inquérito aplicado a uma organização de Ensino Superior, o segundo aplicado aos respetivos colaboradores, sendo esta amostra constituída por 78 pessoas (n=78) e o terceiro inquérito foi respondido por uma amostra de 125 estudantes (n=125) desta mesma organização.
Através da análise dos resultados foi possível verificar o cumprimento das fases do processo de gestão do risco por parte da organização inquirida, as medidas de controlo do risco aplicadas e que a incidência de casos de COVID-19 neste local foi baixa. Foi também possível verificar, através das respostas dos colaboradores/estudantes, que o local mais provável de contaminação foi o meio familiar. Observou-se que as medidas de controlo do risco foram essenciais para conter a propagação da COVID-19 dentro da organização estudada, não havendo, há data da recolha de dados e redação do presente trabalho, registo de surtos da doença nestas instalações.
Concluindo-se por fim que a gestão do risco foi fundamental para combater a pandemia de COVID-19 nos locais de trabalho, diminuindo a incidência da COVID-19 entre os colaboradores e estudantes destes locais.
In December 2020, reports of outbreaks with high numbers of people infected with the SARS-Cov-2 and COVID-19 disease in workplaces, even in organizations that reiterated that they had applied the required protective measures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, raised the question about the correct application of the risk management process and protective measures. The general objective of this research was to verify the importance of risk management in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, in the workplace. To this end, it was necessary to analyze the risk control measures implemented by organizations and whether they reduced the incidence of COVID-19 in workplaces, and to record the employees opinions and students regarding the safety and hygiene conditions at work in the context of the COVID- 19 pandemic. Surveys were chosen as the method of data collection, and three surveys were constructed. One survey was applied to a University, the second to its employees, and this sample consisted of 78 people (n=78) and the third survey was answered by 125 students (n=125) from the same organization. Through the analysis of the results, it was possible to verify compliance with the stages of the risk management by the organization surveyed, the risk control measures applied and that the incidence of COVID-19 cases at this location was low. It was also possible to verify from the employees/students answers that the most likely place contamination, was the family environment.
