Simulação do custo de um acidente de trabalho em uma fábrica de óleo

Abstract

The cost of an accident at work, most of the time, is not accounted for in its entirety, that is, what would be its effective cost to a company? Studies show that an accident can cost a lot of money for an organization, and in some cases, the costs can lead to the closure of a company depending on its size. Large companies have been doing very robust work and, generally, with large investments, considering that the return can be considerable if the prevention program is elaborated and executed efficiently. In parallel to prevention work it is possible to work on the quality of the operation, in which workers operate safely, following procedures and operating manuals. Thus, standardized work, with operational excellence, becomes an integral part of a process, this makes workers do not suffer accidents, are more efficient, make fewer mistakes, have more quality in their activities, fewer corrective stops and, consequently, higher production and billing. After a hard work of changing the organizational culture, in which the safety of the operation is seen as a value, the fruits will be harvested in a safe and profitable way, since the directors understand the role of safety in strategic planning and that it can be more profitable, than unnecessary costs generated by accidents at work.
