Concrete Projection in Mines - Associated Risks
Abstract
This article analyzes the risks associated with the application of shotcrete in underground mining galleries, from the point of view of occupational health and safety. In this way, with the awareness of the risks in this activity and in this environment, it is possible to improve and even optimize the behavior of workers to avoid possible accidents during its application. We can prioritize problems based on the GUT Matrix. It is possible to identify which of them require an immediate response and which can be dealt with later... This work is original because there is not much literature about the use of this technique in works in underground galleries, with the thermal issue of the environment as the biggest limitation, contrasting with open-air works, where the use of this technique is more common.
