ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate the occupational health and safety conditions of a public hospital located in the city of Rio de Janeiro based on the provisions of the Brazilian legislation. Motivated by the recurrence of fire outbreaks at different sectors of the hospital’s facilities, this work was developed through technical inspections, analysis of documentation and interviews with the hospital’s senior leadership and staff. Deviations related to fire protection, electrical installations, ergonomics and occupational medical control and risks prevention programs were found. Based on these results, an action plan has been recommended, using the Gravity, Urgency and Tendency (GUT) method, to prioritize actions.
