IntroductionAccidents and work-related diseases cost, in the world, at least 2,680 billion euros per year (Elsler et al., 2017) and it is estimated that 7,500 people die due to unsafe and unhealthy working conditions every day (International Labour Organization, 2019). To control and reduce this situation, occupational risk prevention activities are developed, which must be defined according to the context of each organization.These activities are necessary to create safe work environments and contribute to the protection of workers' health (Niu, 2010). This is highlighted by the actions arising from the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) registered in ISO 45001:2018, which aims to prevent injuries and health problems for workers by providing healthy and safe workplaces (International Organization for Standardization, 2018).The performance of this type of systems needs to be constantly evaluated, being necessary the use of indicators (metrics to quantify the processes performance), which allow the identification of weaknesses and potentialities, consequently assisting in decision making and definition of strategies to improve working conditions.
Make the environment that can be achieved, fires, used and experienced by anyone, including those with reduced mobility, is an increasingly important need for professionals. Being the eye tracking is an assistive technology that enables you to identify objectively the visual perception was held an experiment that allows analyzing the people’s difficulties in internal visual identification on buildings. The article goal is to identify the focus of visual attention in people with motor disabilities using eye tracking glasses. To perform the experiment was used Senso Motoric Instruments (SMI) eye tracking glasses and was did analyses with the BeGaze software version 3.6. The results indicate the lack of visual information causes difficulties for people to locate and identify the correct route for the offset inside a building, reducing the subjectivity in making decisions to make accessible environments. The tests show that the participants do not have fixed their gaze on specific points, because it remained looking for visual information into the building generating lack of orientation and difficulties to define the right route at offset. With this experiment was possible to validate an application of the device to contribute to the decision-making process of professionals to make accessible environments. In addition, they recognized the particularities in the use of Assistive Technology, the glasses eye tracker, and the possibility of being used in the analysis of various tasks contributing in the Design, in the Architecture, and the Engineering.
The Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) imposed unexpected demands on society, intensifying the development of new products projects that sought to mitigate the contamination risks. It was possible to identify a series of projects aiming for the protection of the people, especially for those inserted in hospital environments to fight COVID-19. Therefore, the present article aims to identify the Brazilian overview of applications for Patents and Industrial Designs related to aid and protect the people, during the year of 2020, registered with the National Institute of Industrial Property, limited to protective equipment, medical equipment and furniture. To meet the proposed objectives, a bibliographic research was carried out, with a quantitative and theoretical approach, along with an exploratory and descriptive objective; regarding the methodological procedures, the model of Systematic Review was used 20 patent registrations and 22 industrial design registrations were identified. It was possible to observe that there is a diversity of classes of products and that the largest number of projects is related to facial protection, providing greater technical knowledge for the creation and development of similar projects. It was also found a predominance of projects from individuals and from private institutions, that the South and Southeast regions registered more protection requests, and that the inventors were mostly from the areas of Engineering, Medicine, and Design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
