Abstract(s)
A Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho (SST) é essencial na construção e
manutenção das redes de água e drenagem dos Serviços Municipalizados de Água e
Saneamento (SMAS), garantindo práticas seguras e eficientes que protegem tanto os
trabalhadores quanto a saúde pública. A SST envolve a implementação de normas de
segurança, capacitação de profissionais e supervisão contínua, promovendo a
sustentabilidade das infraestruturas e a qualidade de vida nas comunidades. Embora
existam avanços, setores como os SMAS ainda enfrentam desafios, incluindo riscos
psicossociais e físicos elevados. Este trabalho visa desenvolver um processo de
avaliação e controlo de riscos no Serviço de Manutenção e Conservação das Redes de
Água e Drenagem no Montijo, em Portugal. O objetivo passa pela deteção e mitigação
de perigos que comprometam a segurança dos trabalhadores e a eficiência dos
serviços, no sentido de promover uma cultura de segurança em conformidade com a
legislação vigente. A metodologia utilizada no estudo é de cariz qualitativo, e conta com
análise documental e ações de observações em campo no sentido de mapear as tarefas
e os riscos associados. A aplicação da "Matriz de Falhas" permitiu a avaliação dos riscos
e a definição de medidas de controlo, contribuindo para um ambiente de trabalho mais
seguro e eficaz. Na análise de risco realizada na tarefa de execução e manutenção de
redes de águas, foram identificados 17 riscos, sendo que os que apresentam maior
preocupação e que devem ser prioritários a resolver são: soterramento, queda em
altura, risco elétrico, perfuração de tubagem de gás, risco psicossocial e exposição a
gases tóxicos ou inflamáveis, e na tarefa de limpeza, foram identificados 23 riscos,
sendo que os que carecem de maior atenção e que devem ser prioritários a resolver
incluem: queda em altura, inalação de gases tóxicos, contacto com substâncias
químicas e biológicas, risco elétrico, infiltração de substâncias tóxicas no solo, poluição
da água, riscos à saúde pública, emissão de gases tóxicos e impacto na biodiversidade
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is essential in the construction and maintenance of water and drainage networks of Municipal Water and Sanitation Services (SMAS), ensuring safe and efficient practices that protect both workers and public health. OSH involves the implementation of safety standards, professional training and continuous supervision, promoting the sustainability of infrastructure and quality of life in communities. Although progress has been made, sectors such as SMAS still face challenges, including heightened psychosocial and physical risks. This work aims to develop a risk assessment and control process in the Maintenance and Conservation Service of Water and Drainage Networks in Montijo, Portugal. The objective is to detect and mitigate hazards that compromise the safety of workers and the efficiency of services, in order to promote a safety culture in accordance with current legislation. The methodology used in the study is qualitative in nature, and relies on documentary analysis and field observation actions in order to map the tasks and associated risks. The application of the "Failure Matrix" allowed risk assessment and the definition of control measures, contributing to a safer and more effective work environment. In the risk analysis carried out in the task of executing and maintaining water networks, 17 risks were identified, and those that present the greatest concern and that should be prioritized to be resolved are: burial, fall from height, electrical risk, pipe perforation of gas, psychosocial risk and exposure to toxic or flammable gases, and in the cleaning task, 23 risks were identified, and those that require greater attention and should be prioritized to be resolved include: falling from a height, inhalation of toxic gases, contact with chemical and biological substances, electrical risk, infiltration of toxic substances into the soil, water pollution, risks to public health, emission of toxic gases and impact on biodiversity.
