against electric shocks, whether the risk is associated with accidental contact with a dangerous live part or with faults that could accidentally put a mass under voltage. (NBR – 5410/04 4.1.1)
and detailed study of all phases of the work in order to detect possible problems that may occur during execution. Once possible accidents and problems have been detected, control and neutralization measures must be adopted. These measures must involve the entire team, creating a safe working environment together.
methodology consists of constructing a deductive logical process that, starting from a pre- defined undesirable event (accidental hypothesis), seeks its possible causes.
Analysis – FTA, which finds its best use in complex situations, which have a complex network of interrelationships of human resources, equipment, materials and environment, constituting a model in which probabilistic data can be applied to logical sequences.
Study (HAZOP) The term HAZOP comes from the English Hazard and Operability Study. Also known as “Hazard and Operability Study”, HAZOP is a technique designed to identify hazards that may cause accidents in different areas of the facility, as well as production losses due to operational discontinuity (SERPA, 2001a).
continuous occupancy, which has limited means of entry and exit and in which ventilation existing is contaminants insufficient for dangerous and remove or oxygen deficiency/enrichment that may exist or develop.
must be adopted in the work and activities referred to preventive measures intended additional, especially in control as of high risks, confinement, explosiveness, humidity fields, electric and magnetic, dust, fauna and flora and other aggravating factors, adopting safety signs.
gas/air mixture is present continuously or for long periods of time. ZONE 1: Area in which a potentially explosive gas/air mixture may be present during normal process operation. ZONE 2: Area in which a potentially explosive gas/air mixture is not normally present. If present, it will be for short periods of time.
– Services in electrical installations in classified areas may only be carried out with a work permit with formalized release, as established in item 10.5 or suppression of the risk agent that determines the classification of the area.
