Abstract(s)
O estudo da sinistralidade laboral é um dos factores mais analisados na abordagem
organizacional e fundamental para adquirir conhecimentos no sentido da prevenção de acidentes de
trabalho. Esta é uma área que preocupa qualquer organização em geral e a indústria mineira em
particular, quer do ponto de vista socioeconómico, quer da responsabilidade legal quer ainda se
tratar de uma actividade de risco elevado.
Uma das muitas formas de prevenir acidentes de trabalho é conhecer as causas porque é
que esses eventos não planeados acontecem e interferem no processo das actividades e causam
perda de tempo, lesões e danos materiais.
O presente estudo de caso pretende:
• Avaliar a relação entre a instabilidade laboral e a sinistralidade no trabalho;
• Relacionar os acidentes de trabalho com o conceito de trabalho.
Para tal foram tomados como referência os acidentes ocorridos no período compreendido
entre 1995 e 2010 inclusive e a analogia destes num período de instabilidade laboral que ocorreu
entre Julho de 1997 a Junho de 2001.
No período estudado ocorreram 402 acidentes com baixa, sendo que 262 ocorreram no
período de instabilidade laboral.
Portanto, a análise destes, permitiu observar que a média do índice de frequência de
acidentes com baixa é de 15,58 e a média do período de instabilidade laboral foi de 32.80, ou seja
houve um aumento de 210,53% em relação à média de todos os anos.
Se um dos pressupostos do conceito de trabalho digno é prevenir acidentes de trabalho,
então no nosso estudo de caso é imprescindível zelar pela estabilidade laboral para se alcançar
essa condição.
No final deste trabalho apresentamos algumas perspectivas futuras no sentido de que surjam
novos estudos sobre esta temática para desenvolver conhecimentos sobre este factor de influência
sobre o desempenho de segurança.
The study of work accidents is one of the most analysed factors in the organizational approach and fundamental to acquire knowledge as regards to prevention of work accidents. In general this is an area that concerns any organisation and in particular the mining industry, not only from the socio-economic point of view but also from the legal responsibility in that it is a high risk activity. One of the many ways to prevent work accidents is to know the basics causes why those unplanned events happen and interfere in the process of the activities and cause loss of time, injuries and material damage. The present case study aims to: • Evaluate the relationship between labour instability and work accidents; • Relate the work accidents with the concept of work. To this were taken as reference the accidents which occurred in the known period between 1995 and 2010 inclusive and analogy in a period of labour unrest that occurred from July 1997 to June 2001. In the studied period there were 402 accidents with lost time, in that 262 occurred in the period of labour instability. Therefore, this analysis, allowed us to observe that the average of lost time accidents frequency rate is 15.58 and the average period of labour instability was 32.80, in this case there was an increase of 210.53% in relation to previous yearly average. If one of the assumptions of a worthy work concept is to prevent accidents at work, so in our case study it is essential to ensure the stability of employment in order to achieve that condition. At the end of this study we present some future perspectives in the sense that further studies are carried out on this issue to develop new knowledge about this factor of influence on the performance of safety.
