“…According to Silva et al, (2018), APR consists of a study to be conducted during the design or development phase of a project, in order to determine the risks that may be present during the operational stage. This technique can also be used as a review tool, periodically evaluating process risks that may not have been previously raised (Nagata, et al, 2018), or due to the occurrence of unforeseen processes.…”

The aim of this research is to present, through the application of a risk analysis technique, a mapping of dangerous occurrences, the causes and consequences of the risks to which highway construction workers are exposed, as well as to recommend appropriate control measures for the case study investigated. A photographic survey was carried out on a critical stretch of road resurfacing work located on Avenida Dona Otília, in the São Pedro district of Manaus/AM. The Preliminary Risk Analysis (APR) technique was used to draw up a qualitative and quantitative opinion of each function included in the construction work process, with the aim of diagnosing the risks and finding improvements in the working conditions at each position, with a view to the well-being and protection of workers' lives. However, the survey indicated a higher incidence of physical risks, especially in the role of paver operator. It is therefore necessary to introduce an accident prevention policy, training workers to recognize potentially dangerous situations before accidents or near misses occur, and to keep records of both. Another important measure is to check the condition of EPI and implement equipment control sheets. The risk of being run over was observed in all functions, and it is important that there is adequate signage for employees on the road, the works and the maximum speed allowed on these stretches.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
