Análise do contributo da educação ambiental na mitigação dos riscos ambientais na terminal de minerais a Granel no Porto de Maputo

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse environmental education strategies to mitigate environmental risks at the Port of Maputo's bulk minerals terminal. The qualitative exploratory approach was used. Non-probabilistic sampling, a sample of six (6) participants was intentionally selected. The data collection techniques used were a literature review, semi-structured interviews and systematic observation. observation, and the content analysis technique of Bardin (2016) was used to analyse the data. Bardin's (2016) content analysis technique was used to analyse the data collected. The results of this study show that the main environmental risks at the PM bulk minerals terminal range from the physical (noise, dust and physical (noise, dust and vibrations), chemical (gas and smoke emissions) and ergonomic (dangerous manoeuvres, lifting and carrying). (dangerous manoeuvres, lifting and carrying weights). Workers perceive the environmental risk as a result of non-compliance with rules and standards of behaviour, safety and the inadequate or negligent use of personal and collective protection equipment. It was also found that environmental education strategies such as lectures, cleaning days and internal meetings are developed at PM's bulk minerals terminal, with a view to sensitising and making workers aware of the need to find concrete solutions to the problem. It is therefore recommended to involve workers more in the implementation of environmental education programmes.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
