Electricity brings great benefits to the population, but when misused can pose a great danger especially with regard to safety.Safety is risk fre.Despite several safety standards and standards in place to ensure safety in work involving electricity, there are still many accidents that range from minor injuries to fatalities.The present work aims to propose preventive measures for the risks existing in building electrical installations, in order to guarantee the safety and health of workers who perform activities and services of electrical installations, by explaining the origin of the causes of accidents in buildings. electrical installations, workers' awareness of the importance of safety and the main risks in electrical services. Subsequent to this, preventive and corrective measures will be suggested to reduce work accidents in building electrical installations. In the development of this study, a direct observation field research was carried out in three construction sites of Manaus City, where relevant aspects related to work safety were observed, with works involving electricity.In partnership with the field research, bibliographical researches were carried out in order to strengthen the data collected in the sites of the researched works.According to the bibliographic survey and direct observation field research, the main consequences of not complying with the recommendations prescribed in NR1O and NBR 5410 are accidents and occupational diseases.Accidents are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe condition.The importance of DDS (Safety Dialogue) was pointed out to show the importance of equipment to workers, the percentage of personal protective equipment used at construction sites and the reasons that lead workers not to use PPE, among others. Through the lecture, it was possible to clarify to workers about the importance of using preventive measures so that they change their attitudes and there is a transformation and behavioral changes on safety measures.Therefore, although companies have accident prevention measures, it is confirmed that the maximum of protective measures has their flaws.
There is no work environment completely free of hazards and risks.Risks will always exist, even if in minimal proportions. Most workers have positive conceptions of improvements and benefits from the prevention of accidents in electricity.
