Abstract

This study aims at presenting a methodology for risks analysis that is carried out incorporating the practices of Lean Manufacturing. This approach shows the opportunities of integrating health and occupational safety with methodologies of process performance improvement and problem analysis. The methodology is supported on the results of the application in a work unit through the development of a focus group that followed a technical and scientific model developed with the integration of theoretical precepts of lean in risks analysis.
