Takeaways

• 😀 The main objective of NR1 is to establish general exposure terms, definitions, and guidelines for managing occupational risks (GR) in the workplace.
• 😀 NR1 applies to all public and private organizations employing workers under CLT, including legislative, judicial, and public ministry bodies.
• 😀 Organizations must comply with NR1 and other relevant local regulations, such as fire safety norms, in addition to the requirements of NR1.
• 😀 The Ministry of Labor (Secretary of Labor) is responsible for formulating, supervising, and enforcing safety norms and conducting inspections.
• 😀 Employers are obligated to inform workers about occupational risks, preventive measures, and provide necessary training and equipment (EPI).
• 😀 Workers must comply with safety regulations, use protective equipment provided by the employer, and inform supervisors of any imminent grave risks at work.
• 😀 Employers must implement a Risk Management Plan (PGR) at their establishments, which includes assessing, documenting, and managing occupational risks.
• 😀 The PGR must contain an inventory of risks and an action plan for risk reduction. Employers are also responsible for maintaining and signing off the documentation.
• 😀 Training for workers must include initial, periodic, and eventual training, and certification should include key information like the training content, hours, and date.
• 😀 Small businesses with a risk classification of '1' can be exempt from creating a PCMSO (Occupational Health and Medical Program), but still must ensure employees undergo medical exams.
• 😀 Key definitions include biological agents (e.g., viruses), physical agents (e.g., noise), chemical agents (e.g., dust), and work environments (e.g., worksite, work front).

Q & A

What is the primary objective of NR1?

The primary objective of NR1 is to establish general guidelines, definitions, and requirements for managing occupational risks (GR) and to provide directives and requirements for risk management in occupational health and safety (SST).

Who must comply with NR1?

NR1 applies to all organizations, public bodies, and agencies, including legislative, judicial, and executive branches, as well as the Public Ministry, as long as they have employees governed by CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws).

What are the key responsibilities of employers under NR1?

Employers must ensure compliance with NR1, inform workers about potential risks, provide necessary preventive measures, conduct medical exams, and implement health and safety procedures for accidents and illnesses.

What are the obligations of workers according to NR1?

Workers are required to comply with legal and regulatory provisions on occupational safety, participate in training, use provided protective equipment (EPIs), and notify employers of grave and imminent risks.

What is the purpose of a Risk Management Plan (PGR) under NR1?

The Risk Management Plan (PGR) aims to assess and manage occupational risks through preventive measures. It must be developed for each establishment, though it can be tailored to specific departments or activities.

How should risks be assessed under NR1?

Risks should be evaluated based on their severity (the potential harm they can cause) and the likelihood of their occurrence. This assessment determines the level of occupational risk and helps in selecting appropriate risk evaluation tools.

What kind of training is required for workers under NR1?

Workers must undergo three types of training: Initial training before starting work, Periodic training based on the set schedule, and Eventual training in cases of procedural changes, serious accidents, or if a worker returns after being absent for more than 180 days.

Are small businesses exempt from some of the requirements of NR1?

Yes, small businesses and micro-enterprises with a risk level of 1 are exempt from creating a PCMSO (Occupational Health Medical Control Program), but they are still required to carry out medical exams and maintain other health and safety requirements.

What documents must be included in a PGR under NR1?

The PGR must include at least two key documents: the risk inventory and the action plan. These documents must be completed by the organization, signed, and dated, and should adhere to other relevant norms.

What is considered a biological agent according to NR1?

A biological agent is defined as microorganisms, parasites, or materials derived from organisms that, due to their nature or exposure, can cause harm or injury. Examples include viruses, fungi, and prions.

What is the difference between 'Canteiro de Obra' and 'Frente de Trabalho'?
