NR1 was fully approved by consensus within the Permanent Tripartite Paritary Commission CTPP which includes representatives of the government workers and employers.The news which are now available at httpspgr.trabalho.gov.br through a single login gov.br were released during the live of the National Campaign for the Prevention of Accidents at Work CANPAT 2022.Declaration of No Risk DIRThe Regulatory Norm n 01 establishes that every organization that hires employees must implement by establishment the management of occupational risks in its activities. However not all must develop a Risk Management Program RMP. The purpose of the Declaration of No Risk is precisely to enable the provision of information by organizations exempted from the elaboration of this program.Every organization including self-employed professionals that has CLT employees must manage occupational risks in their establishments. However in specific situations NR-01 exempts some organizations from the obligation to prepare the Risk Management Program andor the Occupational Health Medical Control Program explains Romulo Machado.The Declaration of Inexistence of Risk therefore can be issued by Microenterprises ME and Small Businesses EPP risk grades 1 and 2 exempted from the constitution of SESMT which in its preliminary hazard assessment in accordance with with NR-9 do not identify occupational exposures to physical chemical and biological agents in their establishments pursuant to sub-items 1.8.4 and 1.8.1 of NR-01.It is worth noting however that as stated in NR-01 the exemption provided is applicable only to the preparation of the PGR and does not remove the obligation to comply with the other provisions of the Standard.The Individual Microentrepreneur MEI is already automatically exempted from preparing the Risk Management Program due to item 1.8.1 of the Regulatory Standard No. 01. Thus only the MEI risk level 1 and 2 with an employee and who do not has occupational exposure to risks related to ergonomic factors must use this system in order to be entitled to the exemption from the elaboration of the Occupational Health Medical Control Program - PCMSO. This exemption is also provided for ME and EPP risk degrees 1 and 2 which do not identify those occupational exposures.We always guide the search for technical knowledge for the correct provision of information and it is recommended that the employer is guided by a competent professional. The company that presents a declaration of inexistence of risks that is not consistent with the reality of the work environment will be subject to assessment by the Labor Inspection explains the undersecretary.MEIs can access more information free of charge in the MEI Sheets which list the main hazards and risks commonly present in these activities.Risk Assessment for Bakeries Confectioneries Butchers and FishmongersAn electronic system for managing occupational risks was also launched on the live with a Risk Assessment Tool responsible for preparing Risk Management Programs. The tool segmented by economic activities is currently programmed to serve two sectors bakery and confectionery and butcher and fishmongers.Soon the tool for the preparation of the Rural Work Risk Management Program PGRTR Rural Activities will be made available.The functionality can be used exclusively for the elaboration of the PGR of Microenterprises ME and Small Businesses EPP classified with risk grades 1 and 2 exempted from constituting SESMT.To prepare its Risk Management Program the system user goes through four stages preparation hazard identification and risk assessment definition of measures ending with the PGR report.In addition to the Occupational Hazards Inventory and Action Plan which are mandatory documents for an RMP our tool also provides a User Guidance and Reference document. This is our incentive for the PGR to actually be implemented producing changes that make the workplace a safer and healthier environment. We also have the ambition to from the dissemination of this tool materialize a new management logic contributing to the strengthening of the OSH culture in the country declares Romulo Machado.
