Civil construction is one of the industrial sectors with continuous growth globally, particularly in Brazil in the last 50 years. Unfortunately, it is also one of the productive segments with the highest incidence of accidents, which overshadows its merits as a driver of economic growth and job creation. The damage to workers' health caused by accidents at work results from the presence of work environment risk factors. Therefore, this study aims to manage these risk factors for the civil construction industry. The work is original with respect to building a model to support risk management in civil construction for a specific and relevant context. It is ensured by presenting an unprecedented approach to the sector that incorporates information not considered by classic generic approaches. This research, thereby, seeks to build a model to support the risk management of accidents in the workplace in the prefabricated concrete construction industry. It is a case study with a constructivist approach and an exploratory and descriptive character, incorporating the Multicriteria Methodology for Decision Aiding-Constructivist (MCDA-C). The main findings include (i) identifying the strategic objectives: occupational safety policy, work environment, machines and equipment, condition of materials, procedures and methods, and skills, which were operationalized via 58 criteria; (ii) examining the scales of the criteria such as the performance profile of the current situation and the goal, highlighting the vulnerabilities and potentials; (iii) proposing improvement actions for the vulnerabilities, thus supporting risk management in the organization. Among the contributions, managers and professionals in the field contribute to the possibility of using an instrument customized to the context and legitimate to their concerns and values stands out. Furthermore, the contributions of researchers include the challenge of improving their generic models with the knowledge of personalized models.
土建工程是全球持续增长的工业领域之一，尤其是在过去 50 年的巴西。不幸的是，它也是事故发生率最高的生产领域之一，这掩盖了其作为经济增长和创造就业机会的驱动力的优点。工作场所事故对工人健康造成的损害源自工作环境风险因素的存在。因此，本研究旨在为土建行业管理这些风险因素。这项工作在为特定和相关背景下的土建工程风险管理构建模型方面具有原创性。通过提出一种前所未有的方法来确保这一点，该方法纳入了经典通用方法不考虑的信息。因此，这项研究旨在构建一个模型来支持预制混凝土建筑行业工作场所事故的风险管理。这是一个具有建构主义方法和探索性、描述性特征的案例研究，纳入了多准则决策辅助建构主义方法（MCDA-C）。主要发现包括：（i）确定战略目标：职业安全政策、工作环境、机器和设备、材料状况、程序和方法以及技能，这些目标通过 58 个标准进行了操作化；（ii）检查标准的规模，例如当前情况和目标的绩效概况，突出脆弱性和潜力；（iii）为脆弱性提出改进措施，从而为组织的风险管理提供支持。在贡献方面，管理人员和该领域的专业人员可以使用针对特定背景和符合其关注和价值观的定制工具，这一点非常重要。此外，研究人员的贡献包括利用个性化模型改进其通用模型的挑战。
