Abstract

Red ceramics manufacturing is a field that is strongly driven by the growth of construction that has great importance within the Brazilian economy. However, the companies involved in the production are usually small and work with outdated technologies, besides the lack of qualification of its workforce. Thus, workers get exposed to precarious working conditions, causing countless accidents. The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate the risks in the red ceramic manufacturing process. The survey embraced eight ceramic companies in northeastern Brazil, with 131 employees. Also, it was applied a checklist with safety items of Brazilian regulations to identify the degree of compliance of these companies. The checklist’s results showed that all companies had safety items in disagreement with Brazilian law. It was possible to confirm that the workplace exposed workers to a high incidence of heat, noise, and dust, besides unprotected machinery, high physical effort, accidents risks, presenting a high degree of risk for workers.
