Abstract

This work corresponds to research carried out in an electromechanical company, located in Maputo province, with the main focus being the preparation of a research survey in order to understand the impact of their working environment on the respondents, also carrying out a risk assessment in the process of maintaining electric motors, as a way of verifying the veracity of the survey results with the subsequent proposal of risk mitigation measures. To this end, various work methodologies were applied, including techniques for observing activities and work sectors, a safety inspection checklist, interviews with employees, as well as the application of the risk assessment method used in the company. In this way, it was possible to identify the conditions of safety and hygiene at work in the company, and also to implement improvement measures in various areas of safety and hygiene at work, in favor of a culture of accident prevention. The results obtained revealed a safety culture climate in terms of the safety components in the organization, perceptions of values, safety management practices and safety training.Safety at work is important for the progression of all companies and employees, and with the increase in socio-economic development, it tends to gain more space in organizations not only because it is a legal obligation, but also because it is important for the physical, social and psychological integrity of workers, guaranteeing good working conditions and preventing accidents and occupational illnesses (TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
