When analyzing the road network of the country, it is noticed that the extension of paved roads is very small. This fact is mainly due to reduced public resources and the high costs of traditional materials utilized in the paving of roads. Increasingly performing pavements requires the utilization of local materials, which do not always have the technical properties that meet the valid standards. Thus, it is necessary the search for products or mechanisms that improve these features and that make possible the utilization of local materials to replace conventional materials. The use of cement has been, long-standing, a good additive to improve the properties of soils. This dissertation presents the results of a saprolite soil of volcanic rock, improved with cement, located in the city of Silveira Martins-RS, for application as base layer in roads of low traffic volume. The analysis seeks to avail of the concepts of Soil Mechanics along with knowledge of the Mechanical Pavement. In this research were performed, among others, characterization tests, soil classification, determination of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Compressive Strenght (CS), Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) and triaxial tests of repeated loads to determine the Resilient Modulus (RM). With the results of the tests cited, it was held the mechanistic analysis, through the SisPav program in order to analyze the potential use of improved soil with cement in substitution of a conventional material. The results demonstrate that the use of these studied soils meet the normative specifications and have great potential for utilization as bases of pavement on highways with low traffic volume. / Ao analisar a malha rodoviária do país, percebe-se que a extensão de rodovias pavimentadas é muito pequena. Este fato deve-se, principalmente, aos reduzidos recursos públicos e aos altos custos dos materiais tradicionais empregados na pavimentação de rodovias. Cada vez mais a execução de pavimentos necessita da utilização de materiais locais, que nem sempre apresentam as propriedades técnicas que atendam as normas vigentes. Sendo assim, faz-se necessário a busca de produtos ou mecanismos que melhorem essas características e que tornem viável a utilização dos materiais locais em substituição aos materiais convencionais. A utilização de cimento já é de longa data, um bom aditivo para melhorar as propriedades de solos. Esta dissertação apresenta os estudos de um solo saprolítico de rocha vulcânica, melhorado com cimento, localizado na cidade de Silveira Martins-RS, para sua aplicação como camada de base em rodovias de baixo volume de tráfego, valendo-se dos conceitos da Mecânica dos Pavimentos Nesta pesquisa foram realizados, entre outros, ensaios de caracterização, classificação do solo, determinação do Índice de Suporte Califórnia (ISC), Resistência à Compressão Simples (RCS), Resistência à Compressão Diametral (RCD) e ensaios triaxiais de cargas repetidas para determinação do Módulo de Resiliência (MR). Com os resultados dos ensaios citados realizou-se a análise mecanicista, através do programa SisPav, a fim de investigar o potencial emprego do solo melhorado com cimento em substituição a um material convencional. Os resultados demonstram que a utilização do solo estudado atende as especificações normativas e apresenta grande potencialidade para utilização como base de pavimento em rodovias com baixo volume de tráfego.

The behavior of sulfur compounds in asphalt cements can be studied in a more comprehensive way through the separation of maltenes and asphaltenes and their respective fractions. Thus, the ASTM D4124 method was applied for the separation of maltenes and asphaltenes in acidic, basic and neutral fractions of súlfur compounds. Herein, it could be observed that the sulfur heteroatom appears in higher levels as a less reactive fraction (neutral compounds) for virgin asphalts. The aging process lead to an increase of at least 20% for the polar fractions of sulfur, which is related to here to acidic and basic sulfur compounds. From this speciation results, a classification of the asphalt samples can be proposed taking into account the calculated reactivity in terms of polar (acidic/basic) and neutral compounds. These results permit to infer that a higher content of asphaltenes does not necessarily imply in a higher reactivity of the asphaltic binder. So the presence of specific functional groups related to these heteroatoms (e.g. sulfur) may be definitive for a greater or lesser susceptibility of the binder to the aging processes. / O estudo do comportamento de compostos sulfurados no cimento asfáltico de petróleo (CAP) pode ser melhor entendido através da separação em maltenos, asfaltenos e suas respectivas frações. Com esta finalidade, foi utilizado a ASTM D4124 para o fracionamento de amostras de asfalto em maltenos e asfaltenos. Por conseguinte, maltenos e asfaltenos foram fracionados em suas respectivas frações ácida, básica e neutra para a especiação dos compostos sulfurados. Em se tratando de maltenos e asfaltenos, observou-se que o enxofre aparece em maior quantidade na fração menos reativa (fração neutra) para amostras virgens, sendo que com o processo envelhecimento leva a um aumento (>20%) da fração mais polar do asfalto relacionada a compostos sulfurados ácidos e básicos. A partir dessa especiação, uma classificação das amostras estudadas foi proposta levando em consideração a reatividade calculada em termos de compostos polares e neutros. Estes resultados permitem inferir que um maior teor de asfaltenos não implica necessariamente em uma maior reatividade do ligante asfáltico. A presença de grupos funcionais específicos relacionados a seus heteroátomos (a exemplo do enxofre) deve ser definitiva para uma maior ou menor suscetibilidade do ligante ao envelhecimento.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Currently, it is increasing the search for alternatives to minimize the environmental impact on inputs production. Concrete, highly polluting, is the second most natural material used by man, losing just for the water. Mineral additions have been investigated as partial replacement of cement in concrete, because, besides of providing the use of industrial waste, it can offer improvements in material characteristics. This study analyzed the microstructure of cement pastes composed by sludge produced in water treatment plants (WTP). Seven different traces were investigated: a reference one and 6 traces adding WTP sludge ash in different levels of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%. Each trace has been developed to three water/binder (w/b) ratios (0.35, 0.50 and 0.65), ending in 21 different traces, which were studied for different healing ages. Assays of Calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA), setting time, DRX, porosity by mercury intrusion (PIM), chemically combined water, electrical conductivity and hydrogen potential (pH); were performed. From the results, it appears that the increased cement replacement content by WTP sludge ash resulted in an increase in the start and end times of the setting time and decrease in electric conductivity and pH testing. Likewise, a reduction in remnant CH amounts with the increase in WTP sludge ash content shown in TG and XRD tests, as well as reduction in hydration heat because of less formation of side C-S-H. The results for combined chemical water increased when the relations w/b and the WTP sludge ash also increased. When compared to the reference mixture, the increase in WTP sludge ash content resulted in PIM values and the like, although an increase is found in the total area of pores due to change in pore size distribution. / Atualmente a busca por alternativas para minimizar o impacto ambiental na produção de insumos vem aumentando. O concreto é o segundo material mais utilizado pelo homem, perdendo apenas pelo consumo de água. Adições minerais têm sido investigadas como substituição parcial ao cimento no concreto, pois, além de propiciar o aproveitamento de resíduos industriais, podem contribuir nas propriedades do material. Este estudo analisou a microestrutura de pastas de cimento compostas por diferentes teores de cinza de lodo de Estação de Tratamento de Água (CLETA). Foram investigados 7 traços diferentes: um traço de referência e 6 traços com adição de CLETA, para teores de 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 e 30%. Cada traço foi desenvolvido para 3 relações a/ag (0,35, 0,50 e 0,65), totalizando 21 diferentes traços, que foram estudados para diferentes idades de cura. Foram realizados ensaios de calorimetria, análise termogravimétrica (TG), tempo de início e fim de pega, difração de raios X (DRX), Porosidade por Intrusão de Mercúrio (PIM), água quimicamente combinada, condutividade elétrica e potencial de hidrogênio (pH). Dos resultados obtidos, constata-se que o aumento no teor de substituição de cimento por CLETA resultou em aumento nos tempos de início e fim de pega e diminuição na condutividade elétrica e nos valores de pH. Da mesma forma, houve uma redução nos valores de CH remanescente com o aumento no teor de CLETA, evidenciado nos ensaios de TG e DRX, assim como, redução no calor de hidratação devido a menor formação de C-S-H secundário. O teor de água quimicamente combinada aumentou com o aumento na relação a/ag e do de teor de CLETA. Quando comparado à mistura de referência, o aumento no teor de CLETA resultou em valores de PIM semelhantes, embora constate-se aumento na área total de poros, devido a alteração na distribuição de tamanho destes.

Ce travail de recherche s'inscrit dans une dynamique de valorisation des sous-produits industriels locaux dans l'industrie cimentière. Il porte essentiellement sur la possibilité d'utiliser la poudre de mâchefer de charbon produit par la SONICHAR au Niger pour élaborer des ciments composés. Après une caractérisation physico-chimique et environnementale de la poudre de mâchefer, nous avons déterminé sa réactivité pouzzolanique et son indice d'activité mécanique. Les résultats montrent que la poudre de mâchefer présente une pouzzolanicité dont la cinétique relativement lente ne démarre pas avant 14 jours. D'autre part, ce mâchefer peut être considéré comme une addition minérale du type Il selon la norme EN 206-1 avec un indice d'activité de 0,76. C'est pourquoi nous l'avons utilisé pour élaborer trois ciments composés de type CEM 11/A avec une classe de résistance de 42,5 lorsque le taux de substitution est de 10% et une classe de résistance de 32,5 lorsque Je taux de substitution est de 15% et 20%. Des mortiers normaux ont été élaborés à partir de ces ciments et caractérisés sur les plans physiques et mécaniques. La durabilité des mortiers a également été étudiée notamment du point de vue de la cinétique de carbonatation et de lixiviation en présence de nitrate d'ammonium. Il ressort en définitive que la poudre de mâchefer peut bien être incorporée comme addition dans l’élaboration de ciments composés. Les caractéristiques mécaniques à long terme (90 jours) et la durabilité des mortiers confectionnés à partir de ces ciments sont conservées lorsque le taux de substitution n'excède pas 10%. / This research is part of a process of valorization of local industrial by-products in the cement industry. lt focuses on the possibility f using coal bottom ash powder produced by SONICHAR in Niger as cement partial addition. After a physicochemical and environmental characterization of the coal bottom ash powder, we determined its pozzolanic reactivity and it mechanical activity index. The results show that the coal bottom ash powder presents a pozzolanicity whose relatively slow kinetics do ne start before 14 days. On the other hand, this coal bottom ash can be considered as a mineral addition of type 11 according to the standard EN 206-1 with an activity index of 0.76. This is why we used it to develop three CEM 11/A composite cements with a strength class of 42.5 when the substitution rate is 10% and a strength class of 32.5 when the rate of substitution is 15% and 20%. Normal mortars have been formulated with these cements and are characterized physically and mechanically. The durability of the mortars has also been studied, in particular from the point of view of the kinetics of carbonation and leaching in the presence of ammonium nitrate. Finally, it appears that the coal bottom ash powder may indeed be incorporated as an addition in the preparation of composite cements. The long-term mechanical characteristics (90 days) and the durability of the mortars made from these cements are preserved when the substitution rate does not exceed 10%.

The chemical properties of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are very similar to the mineral phase of bone. CPCs are, consequently, very effective substrates (scaffolds) for tissue engineering; bone and stem cells attach readily, and can proliferate and differentiate to form new bone tissue. Unlike other CPCs that may remain largely unchanged in the body for years, such as hydroxyapatite, dicalcium phosphates are remodelled by the body and rapidly converted to new bone. Unfortunately, the dicalcium phosphates are also typically too weak to support load bearing in the human body. Our laboratory has recently developed a novel, high strength brushite CPC, (hsCPC), which can reach 10-50 fold higher failure strength than many commercially available CPCs. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the physical, chemical and biological performance of hsCPCs in physiologically relevant model of drug release, load bearing, osteoconductivity, and as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering. Multiple CPCs were compared in a model of screw augmentation to determine whether the physical properties of the cement, such as bulk strength and porosity, affected orthopedic screw holding strength. In an in vitro model of bone regeneration stem cells were grown on macroporous scaffolds that were fabricated from hsCPC. Drug releasing scaffolds were fabricated to examine whether the low porosity of hsCPC impeded drug release during a 4 week incubation period. The biological activity of an incorporated drug, Rebamipide, was examined after acute and chronic incubation periods. In the drug release study it was noted that the biological response to hsCPC was significantly better than tissue culture grade polystyrene, even in groups without drug. The mechanism underlying this biological response was further investigated by testing the effect of pyrophosphate, a common cement additive, on bone cell proliferation and differentiation. This thesis concludes that a high strength cement can produce significant improvement in screw augmentation strength, if there is sufficient cortical bone near the augmentation site. The hsCPC is also cytocompatible, and can support bone and stem cell proliferation and differentiation. hsCPC scaffolds stimulated osteogenic gene expression comparable to native bone scaffolds. hsCPC scaffolds are also capable of delivering drug for up to 4 weeks, in vitro. Finally, a cement additive, pyrophosphate, stimulated differentiation, but not proliferation of bone cells.

Dans les réacteurs nucléaires à eau pressurisée, une solution d'acide borique de pH contrôlé par ajout de lithine est injectée dans le circuit primaire. Le bore joue le rôle de neutrophage et participe au contrôle des réactions de fission. La solution du circuit primaire est épurée par passage sur colonnes de résines échangeuses d'ions. Ces résines sont périodiquement renouvelées et constituent un déchet de faible activité. Outre des radionucléides, elles contiennent majoritairement des ions borate et lithium. Elles sont actuellement conditionnées dans une matrice organique avant stockage en site de surface. Une évolution du procédé est envisagée, avec remplacement de la matrice organique par une matrice minérale. Cette thèse évalue les potentialités des ciments sulfo-alumineux pour le conditionnement de résines boratées en présence de lithium. Ces liants présentent en effet l'avantage de former des hydrates capables d'insérer les ions borate dans leur structure, et leur hydratation est moins retardée que celle des ciments silico-calciques conventionnels. Une démarche analytique, procédant par complexification progressive des systèmes étudiés, est mise en œuvre. Ainsi, l'hydratation de ciments sulfo-alumineux à forte teneur en ye'elimite est-elle successivement étudiée en présence (i) de sels de lithium, (ii) d'hydroxyde de lithium et de borate de sodium, et (iii) d'hydroxyde de lithium et de résines boratées. L'approche expérimentale est complétée par des simulations thermodynamiques s'appuyant sur une base de données développée pour les besoins de l'étude. Il apparaît que les ions lithium accélèrent l'hydratation du ciment sulfo-alumineux en diminuant la durée de la période d'inertie thermique. Le mécanisme mis en jeu implique la précipitation d'un hydroxyde mixte d'aluminium et de lithium. Au contraire, le borate de sodium ralentit l'hydratation du ciment sulfo-alumineux en augmentant la durée de la période d'inertie thermique. Une espèce riche en bore et sodium, l'ulexite, précipite transitoirement dès le début de l'hydratation. En sa présence, la dissolution de la ye'elimite reste lente. Lors de l'ajout simultané d'hydroxyde de lithium et de borate de sodium dans la solution de gâchage, les mécanismes observés pour chacune des espèces considérées séparément se superposent. Un troisième processus vient s'ajouter dans le cas d'un ciment non gypsé : le lithium favorise la formation initiale d'une phase AFm boratée qui disparaît au profit d'une phase AFt boratée lorsque l'hydratation s'accélère. Les résultats obtenus permettent in fine de proposer une première formulation d'enrobage de résines boratées dont les propriétés sont compatibles avec les exigences requises pour une matrice de conditionnement sur la durée de l'étude. / In pressurized water reactors, a solution of boric acid, the pH of which is controlled by the addition of lithium hydroxide, is injected in the primary circuit. Boron acts as a neutron moderator and helps controlling the fission reactions. The primary coolant is purified by flowing through columns of ion exchange resins. These resins are periodically renewed and constitute a low-level radioactive waste. In addition to radionuclides, they mainly contain borate and lithium ions. They are currently encapsulated in an organic matrix before being stored in a near-surface repository. An evolution of the process is considered, involving the replacement of the organic matrix by a mineral one.In this PhD study, the potential of calcium sulfoaluminate cements (CSAC) to solidify / stabilize borated resins in the presence of lithium is investigated. These binders have the advantage to form hydrates which can incorporate borate ions in their structure, and their hydration is less retarded than that of Portland cement.An analytical approach is adopted, based on a progressive increase in the complexity of the investigated systems. Hydration of ye'elimite-rich CSAC is thus successively investigated in the presence of (i) lithium salts, (ii) lithium hydroxide and sodium borate, and (iii) lithium hydroxide and borated ion exchange resins. The experimental investigation is supplemented by thermodynamic modelling using a database specially developed for the needs of the study.Lithium ions are shown to accelerate CSAC hydration by decreasing the duration of the period of low thermal activity. The postulated mechanism involves the precipitation of lithium-containing aluminum hydroxide. On the contrary, sodium borate retards CSAC hydration by increasing the duration of the period of low thermal activity. Ulexite, a poorly crystallized mineral containing sodium and borates, transiently precipitates at early age. As long as ulexite is present, dissolution of ye'elimite is strongly slowed down. When sodium borate and lithium hydroxide are simultaneously introduced in the mixing solution, these two mechanisms are superimposed. With a gypsum-free cement, a third process is additionally observed: lithium promotes the initial precipitation of a borated AFm phase which is later converted into a borated AFt phase when hydration accelerates.Finally, based on the achieved results, a cement-based formulation is designed for the encapsulation of borated resins. Its properties fulfill the requirements for a conditioning matrix over the duration of the study.

En France, le gisement de déchets bois produits au sein des entreprises de première et seconde transformations est estimé à environ douze millions de tonnes par an. Soixante pourcent de ces déchets proviennent essentiellement des scieries sous forme de sciure, de copeaux de bois. Actuellement, il existe différentes filières de valorisation de ces déchets plus ou moins nocives à l'environnement. Un nouvel enjeu est donc de trouver des voies et moyens permettant une valorisation durable et conséquente de ces déchets. Dans ce contexte, la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais a initié un projet visant à la valorisation de ces déchets en élaborant de nouveaux matériaux de construction à base de sous-produits bois. Les objectifs de ce travail de thèse sont de développer des composites à base de pâte cimentaire et de sciure de bois issus de l'essence de Peuplier. Ces composites sont destinés à être utilisés comme éléments de maçonneries porteuses et sont assujettis à des critères de résistances mécaniques fixés par la norme française. La caractérisation de l'influence de la sciure sur les propriétés mécaniques, rhéologiques et physico-chimiques d'un mortier a été effectuée en substituant le sable par de la sciure à des taux variant de 10 à 100\%. Les résultats obtenus ont montré une perte de résistance mécanique avec l'augmentation du volume de bois dans le mélange due à des phénomènes chimiques et physiques. Néanmoins les résistances obtenues pour des taux de substitutions importants (50 à 60\%) restaient conformes à la norme. Ces résultats ont conduit à l'optimisation d'une formulation de mortier de bois extrudable à l'aide d'une extrudeuse à piston. Afin d'appliquer le développement de ces composites à l'échelle industrielle, la sciure de bois a été introduite dans une formulation de micro-béton servant à la production de blocs de béton industriels mis en forme par vibrocompactage. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que jusqu'à 50 \% de substitution du sable par la sciure, les résistances mécaniques étaient conformes. La caractérisation thermique des blocs a montré une capacité isolant intéressante. / In France, the waste wood deposit product in companies of first and second transformation is estimated at about twelve million tons per year. 60\% of this waste comes mainly from mills in the form of sawdust and wood chips. There are many methods of recovery of such waste, which in turn causes environmental problems through the use of products harmful to the environment. A new challenge is to find ways and means to sustainable and consistent recovery of such waste. A new challenge is to find ways and means to sustainable and consistent recovery of such waste. The recovery of such waste in construction materials could be a sustainable solution. In this context, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Council initiated a project for the recovery of such wastes by developing new building materials from wood byproducts. This thesis has been intended to develop biocomposites based on cement paste and sawdust resulting from Poplar species. These biocomposites are designed for be used as part-bearing masonry and are subject to mechanical strength criteria set by the French standard. The study of the influence of sawdust on the mechanical, rheological and physico-chemical of a mortar was performed by replacing the sand by sawdust at rates ranging from 10 to 100 \%. The results obtained showed a loss of mechanical strength with increasing volume of wood in the mixture generated by chemical phenomena. However the compressive strength obtained for significant substitution rate (50 to 60\%) were in accordance with the French standard. These results led to the optimization of a wood mortar formulation met can be extruded using a ram extruder. In order to apply the development of these biocomposites in an industrial scale, the sawdust was introduced into a formulation of micro-concrete used in the production of industrial concrete blocks manufactured by vibro-compaction. The results showed that up to 50\% of substitution of sand by the sawdust, the mechanical properties were compliant. The thermal characterization of the blocks showed an interesting insulation capacity.

Ce travail porte sur la mise au point, le développement et l’étude de la dégradation et de la biocompatibilité d’un nouveau ciment phosphocalcique modifié par ajout de strontium. Un ciment composite formé par l’insertion de microsphère de PLAGA a aussi été développé. Ces ciments ont un intérêt thérapeutique en orthopédie et en chirurgie maxillo-faciale pour le comblement ou le renforcement osseux. Les caractéristiques mécaniques, rhéologiques et radiologiques du ciment et du composite ont été évaluées et optimisées pour rendre leurs formulations à la fois résistantes, injectables et radio-opaque. Un travail de développement à été mené pour répondre au mieux au cahier des charges clinique de ce type de substitut osseux. La chimie de la réaction au sein du ciment à été étudiée pour connaître les mécanismes réactionnels, l’évolution et le produit final de la réaction de prise. Des tests in vitro sur la dégradation par dissolution passive des constituants du ciment et du composite ont été réalisés ainsi que l’étude de la biocompatibilité sur des cultures cellulaires. Des expérimentations animales sur la peau de souris et sur le tibia de lapin ont permis de confirmer la biocompatibilité du ciment et du composite et de donner une première évaluation de sa résorption et de son remplacement par du tissu osseux néo formé. / The aim of this thesis is to design and develop a new calcium phosphate cement modified by addition of strontium and a composite cement formed by the insertion of PLAGA microspheres.These cements have a therapeutic interest in orthopaedic and maxillofacial surgery for bone filling or reinforcement.The mechanical, rheological and radiological properties of cement and composite were evaluated and optimized to improve their mechanical strength, injectability and radio-opacity. Development works were conducted to meet clinical specifications required for this type of bone substitute.The cement chemistry was studied to determine the reaction mechanisms, evolution and the final product of the setting reaction. In vitro tests on the degradation of cement components and composites were performed and the biocompatibility was studied by cell cultures.Animal experiments on mouse skin and rabbit tibia have confirmed the biocompatibility of these cements and provide a preliminary assessment of its resorption and replacement by newly formed bone tissue.

Os Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) acometem a saúde do trabalhador, desde a década de 90, gerando ocorrências num grande número de pessoas, em diferentes países e diversas atividades, sendo um dos casos mais evidenciados no contexto ocupacional. Trabalhadores sujeitos a cargas de trabalho semelhantes, que desempenham a mesma atividade, podem apresentar variações significativas no seu estado de saúde relacionado ao trabalho. Uma forma eficaz de reduzir o número de casos de DORT é a prevenção, que só se torna efetiva se for participativa e abrangente e se minimizar os fatores de risco presentes nas situações de trabalho. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a gestão preventiva dos problemas relacionados aos DORT, através de uma abordagem ergonômica estruturada, interpretações, prevalências, tipos de tratamentos ou reabilitações para retorno ao trabalho, bem como avaliar e gerar dispositivos de controle dos problemas relacionados aos DORT em uma indústria cimenteira, baseando-se na estratégia SOBANE, por ser uma estratégia de prevenção que avalia os fatores de risco e permite a interação com os trabalhadores. (excluída a frase sobre limitação do método) Como resultado prático para a empresa foram propostas recomendações através de plano de ação detalhado, de forma a melhorar continuamente as atividades e postos de trabalho, reduzindo os fatores de risco. / Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD) affect the health of workers, since the Nineties, generating occurrences in a great number of people, in different countries and several activities, which are being one of expressed cases in the occupational context. Employees subjected to similar loads, performing the same activity, can present significant variations of their state of health work related. An effective way to reduce the number of WRMD cases is the prevention, only becomes effective if it is participative and comprehensive and if it minimizes the risk factors present at the workplace. The purpose of this study was to conduct the preventive management of the problems related to WRMD, through a structural ergonomic approach, interpretation, prevalences, types of treatments or rehabilitation to return to work, as well as generating controls devices of problems related to WRMD in a cement industry, based on SOBANE strategy, to be a prevention strategy which evaluates the risk factors and allows the interaction with employees. On the basis of the findings, recommendations are proposed through a detailed action plan, in order to apply continuous improvement in the work environment, reducing the risk factors.
