Sistema de gestão de saúde e segurança no trabalho aplicado na mineração artesanal

Abstract

It is not today that the health and safety at work have been of concern in companies, the Brazilian legislation is increasingly demanding with regard to health and safety of workers. There are several rules that regulate this subject, but artisanal mining is very difficult to meet them due to lack of support and the conditions existing in the workplace. The present work aims to apply a model Management System Health and Safety at Work (SGSST) in artisanal mining, was chosen as a case study of the development known as "Prospecting of the Stones" located in the city of Marabá, PA, were performed two visits in the establishment where it was observed throughout the extraction process of amethyst (drilling, blasting, loading, haul and selection) and the work environment where employees live, we tried to also check the cooperative's concern with health and safety of workers. After the field study, it has adapted a model management system in artisanal mining. To model the suitability of SGSST first became a risk analysis for each stage of mining, the risks in this analysis were divided into physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and mechanical. According to the model used for the analysis of the risks they were classified as non-critical, moderate and critics. After analysis and classification of risk management was made of the same, proposed measures to reduce risks classified as critical. Finally it has adopted the model to the OHSAS 18001 artisanal mining.
