Queda por Diferença de Nível: Uma Revisão de Literatura Sobre as Causas dos Acidentes Em Andaimes na Construção Civil

Abstract

The construction is considered one of the oldest branches in the world when it comes to industries. However, it has high levels of human losses due to work accidents, mainly caused by falls, electric shocks and burials. The objective of this work was to find common characteristics in situations that do not conform to accident potential and in work accidents with scaffolds investigated through a literature review. The methodology followed the guidelines of the Preferred Report for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA) using some key words in agreement with the boolean descriptors "AND" and "OR", as: scaffolding; "construction"; "Fail"; "Height"; "Safety"; "Fall from height"; "Accidents"; "PPE" and "construction". Initially, 1280 articles were found, but the filters used led to 38 potential studies. After completing them, 19 articles were included for detailed review. In the articles included in 64.50% of the analyzed cases, the non-conformities with potential to generate accidents or those generated accidents, originated from the technical causes. Within this percentage, 27.70% reported absence of bodyguard, 21.01% verified absence of the main platform and 15.60% verified absence of vertical communication between scaffolds.
