No. 3,214, of June 8, 1978, in order to regulate articles 175, 176, 178, 198 and 199 of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), as amended by Law No. 6,514, of December 22, 1977, which amended Chapter V (Occupational Safety and Medicine) of Title II of the CLT. Characterized as a General Standard by SIT Ordinance No. 787, of November 28, 2018, the wording of NR- 17 establishes parameters to allow the adaptation of working conditions to the psychophysiological characteristics of workers. Without the creation of a National Tripartite Thematic Commission (CNTT) to permanently monitor the implementation of NR-17, updates to the standard are discussed directly within the scope of the Permanent Tripartite Joint Commission (CTPP)*.

GENERAL INDUSTRY DESK TRANSPORT
the work situation, we have the following factors: Physicists; Cognitive; Environmental; Social; and Organizational. There is a lot of talk about ergonomics and how it is essential to ensure comfort and well-being for workers, in addition to reducing the risk of accidents and occupational diseases. Do you know the different types of ergonomics? Learn more about them and how to identify them in your company.
liquids: These are liquids that have a flash point <60 °C Combustible liquids: These are liquids with a flash point > 60 ° C and < 93 ° C. Flammable gases: Gases that ignite in air at 20°C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa. The International System (SI) defines the PASCAL (Pa) as a unit of pressure being equal to one Newton per square meter The ABNT NBR 7505 standard, for example, considers as a flammable liquid any product that has a flash point below 37.8° C and an absolute vapor pressure equal to or less than 2.8 kgf/cm2. Flash point: Lowest temperature of a liquid or solid at which vapors mixed with the atmosphere, and in the presence of an ignition source, initiate the combustion reaction.
health and safety of workers in the area. And thus seeks to eliminate and control risks involving flammable products and liquids. The most significant risk concerns leakage liability in the presence of ignition sources. Ignition sources can be as varied as possible and can generate sufficient temperatures to initiate the combustion process of most known flammable substances. IGNITION SOURCES AND THEIR CONTROL
can generate a high temperature, due to friction, capable of ionizing the atoms present in the air molecules, allowing light to become visible. The temperature of a spark can reach 700° C. A cigarette ember can reach 1000°C
natural heating. This understanding can generate temperature peaks that can reach, depending on the substance involved, more than 1000° C. This can happen, for example, when pure oxygen is compressed, rapidly going from 1 ATM to 200 ATM, in a pipeline or other system without the presence of a pressure regulator.
oxy-fuel flames, for example, can reach temperatures ranging from 1,800° C (hydrogen or LPG with oxygen) to 3,100° C (acetylene/oxygen). In all the cases mentioned above, the temperatures generated are much higher than the auto-ignition temperature of most existing flammable substances, such as: Common greases- 500° C Gasoline- 400° C Methanol- 385° C Kerosene- 210° C
within or on the surface of a material. The buildup of charges remains until it can be moved by means of an electrical current or discharge. In this example we are looking at an LPG transport truck, the vehicle has a rubber tape with copper wires that removes static energy by conduction if the grounding is the asphalt.
a combustion reaction, involving the oxidation of a flammable or combustible product generating a large amount of heat (exothermic reaction). This reaction occurs when a flammable or combustible substance is combined with air, oxygen or another oxidizer in certain concentrations in the presence of an energy source. In the past, the components of fire were demonstrated using the fire triangle, which involved three basic elements: fuel, oxygen, and the ignition source. However, studies on the chemistry of fire have added a fourth element to the traditional fire triangle, called free radicals, creating the fire tetrahedron. Thus, if all of the elements are not present, the combustion reaction will not occur. Fuel: is the element used to propagate fire, it can be solid, liquid or gaseous. Combustible: any chemical agent that maintains combustion. The best-known oxidizers are: oxygen and, under certain conditions, chlorine. Ignition Source: This is the trigger for the reaction between fuel and oxidizer; and Chain reaction: The chain reaction makes the combustion self-sustaining. The heat radiated by the flames reaches the fuel and it is broken down into smaller particles, which combine with oxygen and burn, radiating heat back to the fuel, forming a constant cycle.
FLASH POINT: is the minimum temperature at which combustible elements begin to release vapors, which can ignite when in contact with an external heat source. In this type of reaction, combustion stops when the external heat source is removed. FLASH POINT: is the minimum temperature at which gases released from fuel elements ignite when they come into contact with an external heat source and continue to burn even if the ignition source is removed. FLASH POINT: is the minimum temperature at which gases released from fuel elements ignite only through contact with oxygen in the air, regardless of any heat source.
Portable extinguisher, poser: CO², PQS, water, foam To combat a fire or a fire, we need to be prepared with the equipment below. It is important to remember that inspections must be up to date to ensure perfect operation.

Activation of the emergency response plan that required intervention measures. tion and control. The communication must be sent within the second business day after the occurrence. The Employer must prepare an investigation and analysis report of the occurrence, containing the basic causes and preventive measures adopted and keep it at the workplace at the disposal of the competent authority.
domestic application, estimated at around 90% of Brazilian demand. The gas specification must meet the requirements of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), as per CNP Standard 02/Ver 3/75 and CNP Resolution no. 02/75, which establishes the following Types of LPG: Commercial propane Hydrocarbon mixture containing predominantly propane or propylene. It is indicated for systems that require high volatility and stable composition/vapor pressure. Commercial butane Hydrocarbon mixture containing predominantly butane or butenes. It is indicated for combustion systems with pre-vaporizers and that require compositions. stable tion/vapor pressure. Propane/Butane Mixtures Mixture of hydrocarbons with variable percentages of propane/propene and butanes/butenes. This is the product known as LPG or cooking gas. It is recommended for residential use. It can be used in industrial combustion systems that do not require a stable product composition.
at most 5% Propylene by volume. CHARACTERISTICS. LPG is composed of colorless gases (propane and butane) and has a characteristic odor due to presence of mercaptan. In general, LPG is considered a simple asphyxiant, although pure butane has a tolerance limit of 470 PPM and a medium level of unhealthiness.
with CNG. This confusion has caused several accidents. LPG is a liquefied gas stored in low pressure cylinders (5 to 8 atm). While CNG is a permanently methane-based gas compressed only in the gas phase at high pressures, around 200 to 220 atm. Due to these differences, LPG cylinders are not capable of withstanding the filling of CNG at high pressures, which will inevitably result in the explosion of the LPG cylinder with a real possibility of serious injury or death. NR 20 does not apply only to LPG, but also to other flammable gases in the relevant technical aspects.
from other gases. Flammable gases (acetylene and LPG) must be separated from other gases by a minimum distance of 6 meters with signs of the type: Smoking Prohibited; Full and empty cylinder. The storage location for compressed gases must not contain liquid flammable products such as gasoline and alcohol and cannot be located underground or in depressions subject to flooding. Preferably, storage areas should be protected from the sun and weather and located in ventilated areas. All cylinders must be stored and transported with a Valve protection cap and secured with a chain or other device to prevent them from tipping over.
flammable and combustible gases and liquids, the following documents should be consulted: Decree No. 96,044 of 05/18/88 - Approves the Regulation for the Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods. ANTT Resolution No. 420 of 02/12/04 – Approves the complementary instructions to the Regulation ment of Land Transport of Dangerous Products replacing Ordinance No. 204/97 of the Ministry of Labor.
Regulatory Standard 20. The contracting company, aiming to comply with the provisions of NR 20, must verify and evaluate the performance in occupational health and safety in the contracted services.
