PRODUÇÃO ENXUTA COM SEGURANÇA E BAIXO CUSTO

Abstract

The occupational risks present in work environments can vary between physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and mechanical/accidents, according to the type of activity. Parallel to the occupational risks, this work brings two more aspects, which are lean production and low production cost. The objective is to present a parallel between the three definitions and classifying them within the GUT Matrix (severity, urgency, and tendency). The results obtained through the classification of the GUT matrix for the groups of risks, had the following order: ergonomic risks, mechanical risks/accidents, physical risks, chemical risks, and with a zero score, the biological risks, each risk group was classified with a set of risk factors. It was perceived that some risk factors deserve an immediate treatment in order to avoid accidents or incidents, and consequently increased production costs, taking into account the implication of absenteeism. The main result found was regarding the activity with sharp and/or perforating objects in the activity with knives, which was suggested that an automated cutting process be added to the production lines, adding a push-pull system for the cutting blade, properly protected against accidental shocks.
