-
Descrição
-
This work of completion aimed to demonstrate the importance of the use of PPE in construction
with awareness and guiding the use of personal protective equipment at the construction site
area. It is estimated that the construction activity is responsible for many accidents, by requiring
its employees to expose themselves to environmental hazards, such as: physical, chemical,
biological, ergonomic and accidents. Considering that the Personal Protective Equipment PPE
are important security items from working, since, in construction using the same becomes
sporadic or non-existent on the part of service providers and employees, even if they have
knowledge of the law and standards. During the study we can observe and note that the use of
PPE is very important and essential in reducing the risks of accidents during the execution of
the activities and their functionality, because the protection of the physical integrity and health
of the employee is not isolated behavior, and these must have training and technical guidance
on the appropriate use of personal protective equipment. It is understood that the lack of
planning of a competent security system can cause occurrences of accidents, causing losses for
low productivity and increased costs. Thus, it is evident the importance and prominence that
has gained the use of PPE in construction, because this is a topic that has been evolving and
requires continuous recycling of professionals in this area.
Keywords: Use of PPE; Safety; construction and accident prevention.
