Diagnóstico sobre o tema acústica nos cursos de engenharia de segurança do trabalho na região Sul do Brasil

Abstract

The present study evaluated the technical knowledge level of the Job Security Engineering professionals about the noise and its influences in the workers, through a investigation of the normative, the lato sensu specialization courses curricular structure in the Job Security Engineering in the South region of Brazil (in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana), and the technical knowledge of these professionals. For both, it was proceeded an exploratory and explanatory with a quantitative approach, that allowed the technical knowledge about the Job Security Engineering course, measuring its comprisement and professional performance. The work also allowed the evaluation of the index of technical knowledge of these professionals about the noise and its influences in the workers population. The mainly results of this research showed that nowadays the specialization courses lato sensu in the Job Security Engineering approach the subjects about the noise and its influences in the people in a discipline module that varies from 15 to 50h according to the School. This workload variation can be one of the explanations of the Job Security Engineers low technological Knowledge level, showed in the research. Still in analysis, the technical knowledge of these professionals it was possible to find the opposite of what is expected from these professionals acquire much more technical knowledge arouse the subject in the professional career than in the classroom, what allows to conclude that nowadays in case of the subjects about the noise and its influence about the people, the courses in the South of Brazil have a much more informative than formative role. In the role of changing this scene, this work suggested a minimum workload of 80 hours and a clear division of the subjects.
