Q & A

What is the purpose of NR-15 regarding insalubridade?

NR-15 outlines the regulations for insalubridade, which refers to hazard pay or additional compensation for workers exposed to unhealthy or risky conditions in the workplace. It defines different levels of risk, such as maximum and medium, based on the nature of the exposure.

How is insalubridade defined for administrative workers in hospitals?

For administrative workers in hospitals, insalubridade is typically classified as medium unless they have direct exposure to patients or materials used by patients. The risk is based on their work environment and exposure to potentially harmful agents.

What is the criteria for assigning maximum insalubridade?

Maximum insalubridade is usually assigned when workers are exposed to areas where patients with contagious diseases are isolated. It is rare for administrative or reception staff to qualify for this unless they have permanent contact with such patients or their objects.

When can a receptionist be classified under maximum insalubridade?

A receptionist could be classified under maximum insalubridade if they have consistent, direct contact with patients in isolation or with items used by such patients. However, this is uncommon and requires specific exposure to high-risk environments.

How does exposure to patients impact the classification of insalubridade for hospital workers?

Workers who have regular contact with patients or the materials they use may be classified as having medium insalubridade. This can apply to receptionists or administrative staff, even if the patients do not have contagious diseases.

What factors determine whether an administrative worker in a hospital will be classified for insalubridade?

The classification depends on whether the administrative worker is in regular contact with patients or their materials. If there is no direct exposure to either, the worker would not qualify for insalubridade, even if they work in a healthcare facility.

Why is it important to assess each case of insalubridade individually?

Each case of insalubridade needs to be assessed individually because the risk of exposure can vary greatly depending on the specific tasks, environment, and the level of contact with patients or their belongings.

What is the difference between maximum and medium insalubridade?

Maximum insalubridade is associated with high-risk environments, such as working with isolated patients with contagious diseases. Medium insalubridade is typically for workers who have some contact with patients or their materials but are not exposed to high-risk conditions.

Can a receptionist in a hospital qualify for medium insalubridade?

Yes, a receptionist in a hospital can qualify for medium insalubridade if they have contact with patients or materials used by patients, even if the patients are not contagious.

Is it mandatory for a patient to have a contagious disease for a worker to qualify for insalubridade?
