Esta dissertação tem como foco a avaliação de riscos profissionais numa empresa que
opera no setor da Gestão de Resíduos. Uma vez que é um setor considerado perigoso
devido às mais variadas razões, como a existência de substâncias perigosas,
equipamentos de trabalho perigosos, matéria prima perigosa, etc., é crucial que existam
boas práticas de Segurança e Higiene no Trabalho, para que preventivamente todos os
riscos profissionais decorrentes da atividade sejam geridos de forma eficaz e segura.
Assim, de forma a se identificar os vários perigos existentes recorreu-se a uma lista de
verificação, a qual foi elaborada tendo com base todos os requisitos legais e normativos
que têm de ser cumpridos. Depois de todos os perigos e os respetivos riscos associados
terem sido analisados, utilizou-se a norma BS8800 para proceder à avaliação dos
mesmos e à priorização da implementação de medidas corretivas e preventivas.
Foram identificados 85 riscos com a classificação de intolerável, 55 riscos com a
classificação de substancial, 41 riscos com a classificação de moderado, 10 riscos com a
classificação de tolerável e 2 riscos com a classificação de trivial. Além da análise e
identificação dos riscos profissionais, de modo a se obter uma melhor contextualização
dos mesmos, também foi analisado o processo de recrutamento dos trabalhadores, a
avaliação de desempenho, o desenvolvimento da carreira e as preocupações ambientais.
No entanto, devido aos constrangimentos no acesso à empresa originados pela situação
pandémica, não foi possível realizar uma avaliação adequada dos mesmos.
É proposto um plano de ação à empresa com a preconização de medidas corretivas e
preventivas, organizado pela ordem priorização da sua implementação e com uma
estimativa dos respetivos custos. A implementação deste plano de ação é primordial para
prevenir a ocorrência de acidentes profissionais, assim como para proteger a saúde e o
bem-estar dos trabalhadores.
This dissertation focuses on the assessment of professional risks in a company that operates in the Waste Management sector. Since it is a sector considered dangerous due to the most varied reasons, such as the existence of dangerous substances, dangerous work equipment, dangerous raw materials, etc., it is crucial that there are good practices in Safety and Hygiene at Work, so that preventively all professional risks arising from the activity are managed effectively and safely. Thus, in order to identify the various existing hazards, a checklist was used, which was prepared based on all legal and regulatory requirements that must be met. After all hazards and their associated risks have been analysed, the BS8800 standard was used to assess them and prioritize the implementation of corrective and preventive measures. 85 risks were identified with the classification of intolerable, 55 risks with the classification of substantial, 41 risks with the classification of moderate, 10 risks with the classification of tolerable and 2 risks with the classification of trivial. In addition to the analysis and identification of occupational risks, in order to obtain a better context for them, the process of recruiting workers, performance evaluation, career development and environmental concerns were also analysed. However, due to the constraints on access to the company caused by the pandemic situation, it was not possible to carry out an adequate assessment of them. An action plan is proposed to the company with the recommendation of corrective and preventive measures, organized in order of prioritization of its implementation and with an estimate of the respective costs. The implementation of this action plan is essential to prevent the occurrence of occupational accidents, as well as to protect the health and well-being of workers.
