RESISTÊNCIA DO USO DE EPIS PELOS FRENTISTAS

RESISTANCE TO PPE USING BY GAS STATION ATTENDANTS

Almeida, Ananda Vieira de Lima ; Freitas, Vitor Erick Cardoso ;

Original Article:

A discussão acerca da utilização, ou não, de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs) pelos frentistas vêm crescendo, no contexto contemporâneo, em virtude do aumento expansivo das consequências geradas pela ausência desses equipamentos essenciais nos postos de combustíveis. Nesse fundamento, o presente estudo teve como principal objetivo ressaltar a importância da conscientização dos próprios frentistas perante as suas condições de trabalho, principalmente, devido à elevada exposição a compostos tóxicos. Nesse cerne, a resistência do uso de EPIs por esses trabalhadores é oriunda de questões socioculturais que, notoriamente, influenciam nas condições impostas por esse serviço. Nessa lógica, o estudo de caso, determinado pelo livro de Metodologia da Pesquisa de Marconi e Lakatos (2003), dessa temática se baseia na coleta de dados em postos de combustíveis na cidade de Salvador-BA, em 2021, com o intuito de evidenciar as situações enfrentadas por esses profissionais e, consequentemente, os impactos em sua qualidade de vida e saúde. Dessa maneira, a partir da análise desse método, a resistência ao uso desses equipamentos, de fato, prejudica o presente e futuro bem-estar dos frentistas.

The discussion about the use, or not, of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by gas station attendants has been growing, in the contemporary context, due to the expansive increase in the consequences generated by the absence of this essential equipment at gas stations. The present study highlighted the importance of raising awareness among the attendants regarding their working conditions, mainly due to the high exposure to toxic compounds. At this core, resistance to use PPE by these workers comesfrom sociocultural issues that notoriously influence the conditionsimposed by this service. In this logic, the case study, determined by the book of Research Methodology by Marconi and Lakatos (2003), thistheme is based on data collection at gasstationsin the city of Salvador- BA, in 2021, to highlight the situations faced by these professionals and, consequently, the impacts on their quality of life and health. The resistance to the use of this equipment harms the present and future wellbeing of the attendants.
