Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of this study was to analyze the perception of electrical safety among workers in the city of Abaetetuba-Pará, using the safety measures described in NR-10 as a parameter. The research arose from the need to understand working conditions in the municipality's electrical sector, given the persistence of electrical accidents in the country, despite the regulations in force in Brazil. To this end, a questionnaire was developed comprising twelve questions that explored concepts related to control and prevention measures for accidents involving electricity. After analyzing the data, it was observed that most of the participants were young people who had technical knowledge in the area, obtained through a vocational course, technical course or practice. The professionals were shown to follow the main parameters of NR-10, such as wearing PPE and not wearing adornments during their work activities. Finally, we identified the need for professionals to seek qualification in the area through courses, such as NR-10 training and refresher courses.
