Abstract(s)
Este estudo focou-se na análise das condições de segurança no trabalho de cravação de
estacas, com ênfase nas estacas tubulares, numa empresa de construção civil sendo a Seth
a empresa alvo de estudo. A importância do tema deve-se ao elevado risco associado a esta
atividade, especialmente na movimentação de grandes estruturas e equipamentos pesados.
O principal objetivo foi avaliar as práticas de segurança, identificar os riscos envolvidos e
propor melhorias no processo e a formação mais adequada. A problemática abordada
relaciona-se com a alta incidência de acidentes na construção civil como mostram os dados
disponibilizados anualmente pela Autoridade para as Condições de Trabalho (ACT),
principalmente ligados à queda de objetos, lesões ergonómicas, exposição ao ruído e em
trabalhos junto à água.
A abordagem utilizada foi exploratória, recorrendo ao estudo de caso através da análise de
três empreitadas de cravação de estacas. Os métodos de recolha de dados incluíram a
observação participante, análise documental e revisão da literatura sobre segurança na
construção civil. As principais fontes de informação foram os relatórios de segurança da
empresa em estudo, dados da ACT, técnicas qualitativas de recolha de dados como a
observação, entrevistas informais, pesquisa e análise bibliográfica e documental. Recorreuse também a métodos quantitativos para análise estatística de acidentes de trabalho.
Os dados obtidos indicam que a implementação de medidas preventivas e a formação
contínua dos trabalhadores são cruciais para a redução dos acidentes. Para além disso, foram
elaborados um guia de formação e uma apresentação em PowerPoint, destinados a capacitar
os trabalhadores para a adoção de boas práticas.
This study focused on analysing the safety conditions in pile driving work, with an emphasis on tubular piles, in a construction company, with Seth being the company under study. The importance of the topic stems from the high risk associated with this activity, particularly in the handling of large structures and heavy equipment. The main objective was to assess safety practices, identify the risks involved, and propose process improvements alongside appropriate training. The issue addressed relates to the high incidence of accidents in the construction industry, as highlighted by data published annually by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), mainly concerning falling objects, ergonomic injuries, noise exposure, and work near water. The approach taken was exploratory, using a case study to analyse three pile driving projects. Data collection methods included participant observation, document analysis, and a literature review on construction safety. The main sources of information were the company’s safety reports, ACT data, qualitative data collection techniques such as observation, informal interviews, bibliographic and document analysis, and quantitative methods for statistical analysis of workplace accidents. The findings indicate that implementing preventive measures and providing continuous training for workers are crucial to reducing accidents. Additionally, a training guide and a PowerPoint presentation were developed to equip workers to adopt best practices.
