SCOPE:

Introduction to the NR 12 Regulatory Standard: aims to establish the minimum safety requirements for the use of machinery and equipment, aiming at the protection of the health and physical integrity of workers;

Field of application: covers all workplaces where machinery and equipment are used, regardless of the sector of economic activity;

Main definitions: it brings several important definitions, such as machine, equipment, safety device, risk area, among others, which serve as a basis for the correct application of the requirements;

Employer's responsibilities: the standard establishes that the employer is responsible for ensuring the safety of workers by implementing the necessary protective measures;

Worker responsibilities: Workers also have responsibilities, such as correctly using personal protective equipment (PPE) and following safety procedures;

Collective and individual protection measures: determines and prioritizes the adoption of collective protection measures, complemented by individual protection measures when necessary;

Fundamental principles of safe design: machinery and equipment must be designed following principles such as the elimination or reduction of risks and the application of protective measures;

Design safety requirements: safety requirements that must be observed in the design of machinery and equipment, such as the use of safety devices;

Protective guards: requirements for the installation of protective guards, which are intended to prevent access to hazardous areas;

Emergency stop and activation systems: installation of emergency stop and activation systems, which allow the immediate interruption of operation in case of risk situations;

Grounding, shielding, and insulation requirements: electrical safety, such as the need for proper grounding, shielding, and isolation of electrical circuits;

Locking and labeling procedures: adoption of locking and labeling procedures to ensure safety during maintenance and intervention activities on machinery and equipment;

Preventive maintenance plans: preventive maintenance programs to ensure the proper functioning and safety of machinery and equipment;

Inspection and monitoring procedures: conducting inspections and constantly monitoring safety conditions in order to identify and correct any problems;

Visual and auditory signaling requirements: clear and visible signaling, using visual and auditory aids, to warn of safety risks and procedures;

Delimitation of risk areas: demarcation and delimitation of risk areas, restricting access by unauthorized persons;

Training and qualification requirements: employers must provide adequate training to machine and equipment operators, according to the activities carried out;

Safe operating procedures: workers must be trained and empowered to follow the safe operating procedures established by the company;

Identification of hazards and hazardous situations: carrying out a detailed analysis to identify the hazards and risk situations associated with machinery and equipment;

Methods of risk assessment and reduction: application of systematic methods for the assessment and reduction of identified risks;

Hierarchy of security measures: security measures should follow a hierarchy, prioritizing more effective solutions, such as eliminating or replacing risks;

Implementation of corrective actions: implement corrective and continuous improvement actions to mitigate the residual risks identified;

Procedures in emergency situations: clear and trained procedures for acting in emergency situations, such as incidents and accidents;

Rescue equipment and teams: provision of equipment and training of rescue teams to act in case of emergencies;

Preparation of reports and technical reports: preparation and maintenance of technical documentation, such as reports and safety reports;

Safety management systems: implementation of safety management systems, with records, monitoring and continuous improvement of processes.

The pedagogical team has the important task of ensuring that courses, training, technical reports, projects and other services are always up to date and in compliance with the relevant legislation. Therefore, it is natural that modifications may occur in the syllabus, including updates, additions or deletions. These changes always aim to improve and adapt the services offered to the needs of contractors and the market in general. 

It is important to note that the responsibility for complying with all relevant legislation lies with the contractor. The pedagogical team is always available to guide and clarify doubts about the updates made to the contracted services. We believe that transparency and dialogue are essential for us to maintain a relationship of trust and respect with our customers. We are committed to offering a quality service, always seeking excellence and satisfaction from our contractors.
