    Análise das práticas de segurança do trabalho adotadas por cooperativas de reciclagem de resíduos eletroeletrônicos: um estudo multicasos

    The rapid increase in the production of electronic equipment has resulted in an increase in the amount of electronic waste produced annually in the world. To face this problem, in 2010, Brazil developed the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), which included reverse logistics as an instrument to deal with the growing flow of this type of special waste and gave recycling cooperatives a social role in this chain. . In this context, recycling cooperatives began to play an important role in the process of collecting and treating Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). However, if handled and disposed of inappropriately, WEEE can pose environmental and occupational health risks to those who collect these materials. The objective of the research was to analyze the work safety practices adopted by WEEE recycling cooperatives. The methodological procedure was divided into three stages: (1) systematic literature review on occupational safety practices adopted in solid waste cooperatives; (2) multi-case study with 5 (five) WEEE cooperatives; (3) proposal for a manual of good occupational safety practices for WEEE cooperatives. As results, RSL uncovered 71 workplace safety practices, organized into three categories: 1) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), 2) equipment that assists in ergonomics and well-being at work, 3) workplace safety actions and programs work. In the field research, it was possible to identify that the five cooperatives surveyed employed occupational safety practices in their processes and it was observed that, although safety practices are a legitimate concern for cooperative members, they tend to be simplified, with a focus on adoption of PPE as the main measure. Despite this, it was possible to identify actions to analyze work processes, implement specific training and pay attention to the prior analysis of equipment to be dismantled, characterizing safety precautions from the beginning of the process and contributing to the creation of a safety culture. A technical manual with good safety practices for cooperative members was also prepared, directly benefiting workers in the recycling sector with a safer and healthier working environment.

    Impactos socioambientais causados pelos resíduos sólidos cemiteriais: um estudo multicasos em cemitérios públicos da região geográfica intermediária de Maceió-AL
    (2025-01-24) Santos, Gabriela Moreira dos; Cruz, Nicholas Joseph Tavares da; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0765-5424; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6913208549056992; Souza Júnior, Marcilio Ferreira de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2702843581642246; Romero, Renato de Mei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9857771457585862; Silva, Claudionor de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7914499903341694
    Disorderly urban expansion, lack of adequate planning and the absence of modern infrastructure in public cemeteries contribute to a series of problems that affect both public health and the environment. These spaces have attracted attention due to their potential for environmental pollution and are seen as sources of contamination, and their activities are subject to environmental licensing, as provided for in the resolutions of the National Environmental Council. There is a possibility of soil degradation and water contamination by leachate and solid waste, which threaten human health and the environment and require solutions capable of reducing the impacts attributed to cemetery activities. This research aimed to describe the socio- environmental impacts of public cemeteries in cities in the state of Alagoas based on the analysis of solid waste generation and environmental disposal thereof. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted through the multi-case study strategy, limited to 12 (twelve) public cemeteries in the intermediate geographic region of Maceió-AL. The methodological procedures involved a systematic literature review on the issue, followed by observational research in public cemetery environments, where data were collected from non- participant observations and photographic records. As a result of the SLR, based on the extraction of data from 27 primary studies identified as relevant by the search string, the most mapped types of cemetery solid waste were construction waste and exhumation remains; the proposed interventions involved the development of management plans, environmental education, and maintenance and cleaning of the sites; in addition to the adoption of new cemetery practices. As a result of the observational research in the field, the lack of adequate infrastructure in the cemeteries was evidenced, aggravating the environmental problems with pollution by leachate and solid waste from exhumations without adequate disposal.
