Relações e condições de trabalho na extração de granito no município de Vila Pavão ES: compreender o trabalho para pensar a formação

Abstract

The research analyzed the relationships and working conditions of the granite extraction in the city of Vila-Pavão-ES. For this, was investigated the evolution of the marble and granite extraction in the region, and was carried out a mapping of existing quarries located in the studied city, understanding it in the socio-economic terms and contextualizing it in the supply chain. This productive model of the sector proved precarious forms of employment and working conditions. We also seek, in a successive approximation to the real work, describe and analyze the work process, identifying and discussing in it the qualification requirements for workers according to the technological and safety standards at work. In this dimension of our analysis, we confront the health and safety standards prescribed by the regulatory bodies of the activity with the work found in the labor situations analyzed. Such confrontation pointed the precarization of relationships and conditions of work, made possible, by the deficit in the performance of the police power of the State in respect of compliance of the mining activity regulatory standards. In this context, we found the determinant role of the professional formation on the job, associated with the experience of workers in construction, development and consolidation of extractive activities of marble and granite.
