Aplicação da NR-12 em máquinas e equipamentos: estudo de caso

Abstract

Due to multinationalization of companies and their inflexible competitions, production processes demand more resistant and fast machines, which can compromise worker safety and result in an accident at work. The lack of protections and / or safety devices along with conditions of use and the unpreparedness of the operators are the main causes of accidents with machinery and equipment. The Regulatory Standard NR-12 the Ministry of Labor establishes minimum requirements for safe work in machinery and equipment in addition to incorporating from design to disposal of machinery and interactions with employees during use. This study aims to present the NR-12 and its application on a machine of a production process, as well as the preparation of a handbook for training and awareness as to the work safety in machinery and equipment. Previously we conducted a study on the NR-12, after the adaptation of a machine as the norm and lastly the design of primer for training and awareness. Also, using the norm, there was readjustment of the industrial layout. It is expected, thus, demonstrate that the suitability of machines and equipment according to NR-12, is essential in preventing and combating accidents at work.
