GERENCIAMENTO DE RISCOS MECÂNICOS COM BASE NA NR12 E SUAS INTERFACES COM A NR01.

This article examines mechanical risk management based on Brazil's Regulatory Standard NR-12 (Occupational Safety in Machinery and Equipment), incorporating updates from NR-1 (General Provisions for Occupational Health and Safety Management). While these standards are specific to Brazilian labor regulations, the framework aligns with international approaches to risk management. NR-1 establishes a Risk Management Program (PGR - Programa de Gerenciamento de Riscos) using the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act), requiring formal documentation, implementation of control hierarchies, and worker participation. These requirements complement NR-12's technical specifications for machine safety, including risk assessments, engineering controls, and operator training.
