Abstract
Electricity brings great benefits to the population, but when misused can pose a great danger especially
with regard to safety.Safety is risk fre.Despite several safety standards and standards in place to ensure
safety in work involving electricity, there are still many accidents that range from minor injuries to
fatalities.The present work aims to propose preventive measures for the risks existing in building
electrical installations, in order to guarantee the safety and health of workers who perform activities
and services of electrical installations, by explaining the origin of the causes of accidents in buildings.
electrical installations, workers' awareness of the importance of safety and the main risks in electrical
services. Subsequent to this, preventive and corrective measures will be suggested to reduce work
accidents in building electrical installations. In the development of this study, a direct observation field
research was carried out in three construction sites of Manaus City, where relevant aspects related to
work safety were observed, with works involving electricity.In partnership with the field research,
bibliographical researches were carried out in order to strengthen the data collected in the sites of the
researched works.According to the bibliographic survey and direct observation field research, the main
consequences of not complying with the recommendations prescribed in NR1O and NBR 5410 are
accidents and occupational diseases.Accidents are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe condition.The
importance of DDS (Safety Dialogue) was pointed out to show the importance of equipment to
workers, the percentage of personal protective equipment used at construction sites and the reasons
that lead workers not to use PPE, among others. Through the lecture, it was possible to clarify to
workers about the importance of using preventive measures so that they change their attitudes and
there is a transformation and behavioral changes on safety measures.Therefore, although companies
have accident prevention measures, it is confirmed that the maximum of protective measures has their
flaws. There is no work environment completely free of hazards and risks.Risks will always exist, even
if in minimal proportions. Most workers have positive conceptions of improvements and benefits from
the prevention of accidents in electricity.
