Abstract(s)
A indústria metalomecânica é um setor fundamental para a economia. Ocupa um lugar 
chave  na  cadeia  de  produção,  gerando  produtos  finais  e  matérias-primas  para  os 
inúmeros  sectores  da  indústria,  a  jusante.  Sendo  um  setor  com  elevado  número  de 
acidentes, considera-se de muito importância compreender este fenómeno.  
Tendo  em  conta,  a  falta  de  trabalho  de  investigação  sistemática  sobre  o  tema  e  na 
perspetiva de identificar as principais causas de acidentes na indústria metalomecânica, 
o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi efetuar uma primeira análise das principais causas 
de acidente na indústria metalomecânica em Portugal. 
A análise permitiu reunir informações relevantes, contribuições importantes na definição 
de medidas preventivas, que poderão ser o fator principal na redução ou eliminação de 
muitas  das  possíveis  fontes  de  perigo  para  os  trabalhadores  expostos  aos  diferentes 
riscos.  Para  alcançar  este  objetivo,  foram  estudados  os  acidentes  registados  na 
empresa, ocorridos num período de 6 anos, de 2014 a 2019., classificados e 
organizados  de  acordo com  a  OIT,  que classifica  os  acidentes  de  trabalho  de  acordo 
com: a natureza da lesão, a localização da lesão, o tipo de acidente e o agente material.  
A metodologia utilizada nesta tese pode ser dividida em três principais pontos: pesquisa 
bibliográfica  sobre  o  tema,  parte  prática-  com  a  apresentação  do  estudo  de  caso-  e 
conclusões baseadas na análise teórico-prática do estudo. 
Os perigos proporcionam as circunstâncias que possibilitam a ocorrência dos acidentes, 
resultando  na  maioria  dos  casos  em  consequências  graves  e  colocando  a  indústria 
metalomecânica como uma das indústrias de maior índice de sinistralidade.
The metallomechanics industry is fundamental to the economy. It occupies a key link in the chain of production, generating the final product and the raw material to the innumerous sectors, going downstream on the metal industry. As it is a dangerous work field with many accidents reported, it is considered highly important to comprehend this phenomenon. Considering all, the lack of systemic investigation of this work field and with the purpose of identifying the main causes of the accidents in it, this work’s main goal was to systematically analyze these main causes to the accidents in this industry in Portugal. The analysis made it possible to gather relevant information, important contributions in the definition of preventive measures, which could be the main factor in reducing or eliminating many of the possible sources of danger for workers exposed to different risks. To achieve this objective, accidents registered in the company, which took place over a period of 6 years, from 2014 to 2019, were studied and classified according to the ILO, which classifies occupational accidents according to: the nature of the injury, the location of the injury, the type of accident and the material agent. The methodology used in this thesis can be divided into three main points: bibliographic research on the topic, practical part - with the presentation of the case study - and conclusions based on the theoretical-practical analysis of the study. The dangers provide the circumstances that make possible the occurrence of accidents, resulting in most cases with serious consequences and placing the metalworking industry as one of the industries with the highest accident rate.
