Análise e interpretação da Norma Regulamentadora nº16 para uma cooperativa agroindustrial

Abstract

This study analyzed Regulatory Standard No. 16 (NR-16) in an agroindustrial cooperative, focusing on Annexes 2 and 4, which address hazardous activities involving flammable materials and electricity. The objective was to determine whether certain activities justified the payment of a hazard premium of 30% of the contractual salary. The methodology used was an on-site investigation and the application of the HRN methodology to estimate risk. Thirty-three activities were identified in eight sectors. Most related to flammable materials were considered rare hazards and not considered hazardous according to NR-16 and the CLT. In contrast, electrical activities clearly distinguished between low risk and hazardous, with maintenance and high-voltage operations being considered hazardous due to a lack of training and formal procedures. The study concluded that improving safety protocols, especially in electrical operations, will be essential to ensure a safe and compliant work environment.
