Assessment and Adequacy NR12
We prepare risk assessment reports and NR 12 reports. We adapt systems to comply with safety standards.
We develop a fully customized project to adapt industrial machinery and equipment to NR12 standards, through analysis of the specific characteristics and needs of each requirement.
What is NR12?
NR-12 is a set of safety procedures aimed at the installation, operation and maintenance of machines in work environments in order to guarantee the health and physical integrity of the professionals who will work there.
How to comply with NR12?
To comply with NR12 in your company, you must pay attention to the mandatory procedures for this equipment and machinery, such as: services, circulation areas, starting and stopping devices, as well as correct maintenance and operation.
Failure to comply can result in losses and a lack of safety for employees, potentially causing accidents that could be avoided, as well as preventing possible penalties for companies that do not comply with the regulations.
Companies and industries that still have machinery and equipment in an irregular situation can adapt to regulatory standards. To do so, count on MCK, which will be responsible for the "architecture" and implementation of new machinery, equipment, and systems projects.
The process of adapting to the NR 12 standard involves several steps, including:
It is necessary to define the objectives of the adaptation, design safety measures, install safety devices and define safe operation and maintenance procedures.
Adapting machinery can increase a company's productivity, and as we know, suitable machines are safer and more reliable, which reduces the risk of accidents and breakdowns that can interrupt production.
How to Proceed?
The first step in complying with NR12 should be a preliminary analysis of the equipment inventory and its risks, considering the most common scenarios and implementing concepts such as "fail-safe," which consists of minimizing or eliminating risk even in cases of malfunction. In other words, the machine can enter a safe mode that offers protection to workers in the event of performance failures.
Other important aspects are administrative, which include workplace safety policies, procedures and instructions, in addition to the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate for each type of activity.
The standard can be implemented in new equipment projects or in your company's existing systems. To achieve this, you can rely on the assistance of specialized companies, which provide guidance and assist in developing important procedures for compliance with the standard. Therefore, you can always count on A MCK, a company with over 15 years of expertise in analysis and compliance.
