Análise prática da Norma Regulamentadora 10 em uma indústria de processamento de carnes

Abstract

This study evaluated the compliance of a meat company with

Regulatory Standard 10 (NR-10), essential to guarantee electrical safety in industrial environments. NR- 10 establishes guidelines for safety in electrical installations and associated services, seeking to minimize the risk of electrical accidents. The objective was to analyze the adequacy of the company's infrastructure, security policies and operational practices in relation to NR-10, identifying areas of compliance and non-compliance. The methodology involved document review, on- site inspections and application of a specific form for data collection. Production, maintenance and substations areas were inspected, with emphasis on verifying the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Analysis of tests of insulating rubber gloves, switch poles and insulating rubber mats indicated that, although the majority of equipment meets regulatory requirements, there is a need for improvements in quality control and regular maintenance. Discussion of the results highlighted the importance of continued implementation of training and regular audits to ensure compliance. It was concluded that, despite significant advances, the company must intensify its efforts in training and quality control to guarantee the electrical safety of its workers.
