With the significant increase of industrialization in Brazil, and as a consequence the increase in accidents, the existing agencies in the country have adopted many regulatory standards to help reduce the amount of accidents, especially in industries. To the adequacy of these standards, most industries, understanding and not spending as investment do not make any adjustment on their machines, causing risks, accidents and even death to the operator. This work aims suitability of a machining center an automaker company midsize machines, within the regulatory standard NR-12, making the study of investment, through two budgets, the first with high-tech equipment such as logic controllers programmable and the second with an average technology budget as safety relays, within the current regulations in the country. Raising the cost of an accident in the center of this machining company, the impact on production and in society was held, as well as spending on physicians in recovery officials and attorneys to represent the company with lawsuits. With this research, there is also a high difference of the cost of an accident in relation to the suitability of this investment for the machine. Those costs that can be avoided may be invested in the adequacy of the rest of the factory of this company, because the equipment with higher cost is the machining center.
