Análise de risco nos laboratórios de engenharia civil e engenharia elétrica: o caso do campus de palmas da universidade federal do Tocantins

Abstract

In university laboratories there is a considerable probability of accidents occurring due to users' curiosity and often the lack of instructions or non-compliance with them. In order to make the laboratory environment safer and minimize risks, several measures must be adopted, including the preparation of risk maps and preliminary risk analysis. The present study was carried out from the elaboration of a Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA) and risk maps of the Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering laboratories of the Federal University of Tocantins, Campus Palmas. The physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic risks existing in the steps corresponding to the use of equipment and environments in general were raised. From data colecione with the aid of a questionnaire, it was possible to identify the existing dangers and determine the risk to students and teachers. From the APR, it is possible to propose control measures to minimize the effects of identified risks/hazards and assist with the updating of data collected in the current situation, enabling corrections and return of activities in the laboratories with greater safety. It was observed that all the laboratories of the Electrical Engineering course were considered safe, and that only the Construction Materials and Soil Mechanics of the Civil Engineering course presented a greater variety of risks.
