Adequação à NR-12 de uma máquina de corte e solda instalada no setor de acabamento de uma indústria de embalagens plásticas

Abstract

In order to produce high-quality products, it has become essential to pay attention to compliance with labor regulations at every stage of the process. One of the adaptations of the systems used in contemporary industry is based on the NR-12 safety standard, which aims to preserve the health and safety of the operator. The application of these guidelines is adjusted according to the particularities of the events, seeking to solve the complexities that can arise as a result of the very circumstances inherent in the operation of the machines. Regulatory Standard NR-12 has undergone improvements and revisions since its inception, and its most recent edition was published in July 2019. The aim of the study was to adapt a cutting and welding machine to the safety standards of NR-12 (2022) in a plastic packaging industry, specifically in the finishing sector. The standard and the machine were analyzed, assessing operating conditions and risks. The proposed adaptations aim to reduce the risk of accidents, following the NR-12 guidelines. The choice of safety devices was based on technical and financial criteria. It is important to note that a specialized engineer evaluates the adaptations. The study highlights the importance of industrial safety and the need to anticipate risk situations in order to guarantee worker protection.
