Diretrizes para elaboração de medidas de prevenção contra quedas de altura em edificações.
Abstract
Concepts, evolution and the importance of safety engineering are presented in this
dissertation. The aspects that should be approached in the elaboration of the
Conditions and Labor Environment Program for the Construction Industry are also
considered, particularly the ones for activities that make falls from height possible.
The difficulties of implementation of the program are analyzed, considering the
characteristics of the Building Industry. Moreover, a case study carried out in the city
of Londrina-PR is presented in order to find out the preventive measures against falls
from height by building companies. Standards are presented for aid and parameters
of safety design for collective protective equipment which approaches protection
types, dimensions for calculations. Preventive measures against falls from height and
forms of prevention are also presented. They consist basically in knowing the system
and the construction process to be adopted by the company; evaluation of the risky
and ergonomic situations in the activities of production in building plot; elaboration of
collective preventive systems for the several production phases as well as the postoccupation
phase; work training; specification of personal protective equipment for
the production phases; documentation and evaluation of the safety system.
