APLICAÇÃO DA NR-12: estudo de caso da instalação de relé de segurança de emergência em Desbobinador de Fita

Abstract

This article focused on the Regulatory Standard for machinery and equipment, NR-12. This is one of the essential items of Occupational Hygiene and Safety (OHS), an area responsible for industrial safety, hygiene, and occupational medicine in relation to company employees, responsible for prevention and correction, in constant studies and actions involving accidents at work and workers' health. In this context, the aim of this article was to adapt the NR-12 standard by installing an emergency safety relay on the “Tape Unwinder” machine in an automotive parts industry in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Initially, a literature review was carried out about safety at work, documentary research by reading and analyzing NR12, especially the emergency safety relay, and field research by means of applied action research. The results indicate that this machine needed to be adapted to the NR-12 standard so that it could provide safety for the employees who use it. It was therefore concluded that NR-12 is an extremely important standard to be followed to guarantee worker safety. About this research, it was concluded that the implementation of this adaptation on the machine was essential for worker safety.
