Segurança do trabalho na construção civil: um estudo de caso em Pau dos Ferros-RN.

Abstract

The construction sector is one of the largest employers, but it faces significant challenges related to workplace safety. Frequent accidents lead to high rates of disability and fatalities, underscoring the urgent need for preventive measures. This article highlights the importance of organizational culture in safety, emphasizing that worker awareness and compliance with laws are essential. To address this, a case study conducted at construction sites in the city of Pau dos Ferros - RN sought the perceptions of 20 construction workers regarding workplace safety regulations. Based on the findings, an educational booklet was developed to address knowledge gaps, providing clear information in simple language about safety regulations, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other relevant procedures for construction workers in Pau dos Ferros - RN.
