Abstract

This study addresses the Assessment of Occupational Exposure Risks in the FLCS Building – UEM Main Campus, using a mixed methodological approach, with observation grid and questionnaire as data collection techniques. The results of the analysis indicate that there are many safety and hygiene elements in the building, which represent real dangers, such as unprotected electrical wires, defective electrical sockets, blown light bulbs, wet floors, pre- sent in different compartments, where users, daily, frequent the building and risk different identified dangers as evidenced by the photos presented throughout the study. The analysis also indicates that some risks present a degree of danger higher than 400 (immediate sus- pension of the dangerous activity), such as accident risks. The results allowed us to conclude that the different compartments of the FLCS building have several non-conformities regard- ing safety and hygiene. Immediate intervention by the competent authorities is required to introduce corrective measures and disseminate information related to OSH to users
