DEVELOPMENT OF A RISK CONTROL SYSTEM IN OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY ENGINEERING

Abstract

This article presents the development and implementation of a computerized risk control system for occupational safety engineering, aiming to improve accident prevention and promote safer workplaces. The proposal consists of a digital solution capable of identifying, classifying, monitoring, and reporting occupational risks in real time through interactive dashboards and automated reports. The system design involved interviews with professionals in the field, a technical requirements survey, and functionalities modeling based on the main challenges faced in risk control using conventional methods. The pilot application was conducted at a metalworking company, demonstrating significant operational gains, such as a nearly 50% reduction in response time to critical risks and an increase in the effectiveness of preventive actions. Furthermore, greater team involvement in safety activities was observed, fostering a prevention-focused organizational culture. The system was developed using a modular architecture with PostgreSQL database integration and RESTful API communication, and is accessible via mobile devices. Practical experience demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of digitizing OSH processes, in line with trends identified in recent studies. The conclusion is that computerizing risk management represents an effective strategy for reducing accidents and strengthening workplace safety. It can be adapted to different sectors and expanded with emerging technologies such as IoT and artificial intelligence.
