ABSTRACT Goal: In this work, the application of FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) in the execution of maintenance of water network in a medium size city in the state of Maranhão was approached. FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) with occupational safety approach is applied in the execution of water supply network maintenance in a medium size city in the state of Maranhão. This work shows that FMEA is an effective tool for risk prioritization in work process. The FMEA application with use of index reference table can become faster than application without reference table and thus spread the tool for risk analysis. Design / Methodology / Approach: A photographic records was carried out in loco and the main risks to the workers were enumerated and based on the obtained data, a risk analysis was elaborated with the application of FMEA (Failure modes and effects analysis). Results: The maintenance services teams of the supply system are subject to a high risk of accidents caused mainly by the working conditions precariousness. It was observed that the services of manual excavations and the lack of use of PPE (helmet, gloves, pants suitable for flooded environments and etc.) have high risk index (RPN) and that the mismanagement added to the unsafe behavior were the main factors to accident occurrence in this type of work. Limitations of the investigation: The study studied the reality found in a medium-sized city with precarious working conditions. Further studies can compare the work reality of other teams in cities of different sizes, with better working conditions. Other limitation of this work is the impossibility of work situation improvement and posterior tool application – a study with this magnitude is non-trivial and needs future research. Practical implications: The great achievement of this work is to demonstrate that FMEA a tool that is widely used in maintenance management and product engineering is able to identify and prioritize risks based on its preliminary risk index obtained contributing to reduce the difficulty of index choices previously cited in literature and disseminate the FMEA utilization for employee safety and occupational health. Such a tool has a great capacity for quantitative description of the risks, showing that the FMEA is very useful in the work safety sector for the organization of correction plans. Originality / Value: The difficulties of using the tool mentioned in the available literature were minimized with the use of the reference table, showing that the use of FMEA can become faster and thus spread the tool for risk analysis.

通过故障模式和后果分析对供水网络维护工作进行风险分析和优先排序:职业安全FMEA的应用

HeyglonFábioOliveira dos Santos heyglon@live.de巴西CEUMA大学。摘要目标:在这项工作中,研究了FMEA(故障模式和影响分析)在马拉尼昂州中型城市的供水网络维护中的应用。具有职业安全性方法的FMEA(故障模式和影响分析)被应用在Maranhão州中型城市的供水网络维护中。这项工作表明,FMEA是在工作过程中进行风险优先排序的有效工具。使用索引参考表的FMEA应用程序可以比没有参考表的应用程序更快,从而扩展了风险分析工具。设计/方法/方法:在机车上进行了照相记录,并列举了对工人的主要风险,并根据获得的数据,运用FMEA(故障模式和影响分析)详细阐述了风险分析。结果:供应系统的维护服务团队面临着主要由工作条件不稳定导致的事故高风险。据观察,人工开挖和缺乏PPE(头盔,手套,适合洪水泛滥的裤子等)的使用具有较高的风险指数(RPN),管理不当是不安全行为的主要原因。在这种类型的工作中发生事故。调查的局限性:该研究研究了在一个工作条件不稳定的中型城市中发现的现实情况。进一步的研究可以比较具有不同工作条件的不同规模城市中其他团队的工作现状。这项工作的其他局限性是不可能改善工作环境和应用后置工具-如此大规模的研究是不平凡的,需要进一步的研究。实际意义:这项工作的巨大成就在于证明FMEA是一种广泛用于维护管理和产品工程的工具,它能够根据获得的初步风险指标来识别风险并确定风险的优先级,从而有助于减少先前引用的指标选择的难度在文献中进行传播,并传播FMEA对员工安全和职业健康的利用。这种工具具有定量描述风险的强大能力,表明FMEA在安全生产部门中对组织纠正计划非常有用。原创性/价值:通过使用参考表,可以最大程度地减少使用现有文献中提到的工具的难度,这表明FMEA的使用可以更快地进行,从而扩展了风险分析工具。
