Title:

THE EVALUATION OF THE SAFETY PROCEDURES USED WHEN CUTTING MATERIALS WITH ABRASIVE DISCS

Summary :

ALL ASPECTS RELATED WITH THE SAFETY WHEN USING ABRASIVE S DISCS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. ALTHOUGH, THE PROTECTING AGAINST THE NOISE, THE CHIP S FRAGMENTS AND THE DUST GENERATED DURING THE PROCESS, AND ALL THE DISEASES RELATED WITH THE ABRASIVE DISC S CUTTING PROCESS ARE, STILL NOT RELEVANT FOR THE USERS. THE INCORRECT OR THE NEGLIGENCE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (IPE) CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DISEASES, WHICH CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE DEATH. THIS PAPER SHOWS A RESEARCH ABOUT THE ASPECTS RELATED WITH THE SAFETY USE OF ABRASIVE DISCS. IN BAURU, A CITY OF SÃO PAULO STATE, THE MAJORATY OF THE INDUSTRIES THAT USE THE ABRASIVE DISC S CUTTING WERE VISITED AND THE ASPECTS RELATED WITH THE SAFETY USE OF ABRASIVE DISCS WERE VERIFIED. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT 97% OF MACHINE S OPERATORS USED THE CORRECT IPE TO EYE S PROTECTION AND 70% OF THEM USED THE CORRECT ONE TO EAR S PROTECTION. ALTHOUGH, ONLY 21% OF THE OPERATORS OF THE CUT-OFF MACHINE USED THE CORRECT IPE OR HAD AN EXHAUSTER SYSTEM TO PROTECT THEM AGAINST THE DUST GENERATED DURING THE PROCESS. THESE DUST, DEPENDING THE DEGREE OF EXPOSITION, CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DISEASES AND LEAD TO PREMATURE DEATH. KEY WORDS: SAFETY ASPECTS , DISEASES, CUT-OFF OPERATION
