Video text: I believe that everyone involved in occupational safety has at some point felt the need to study the NRs in depth. I can tell you right away that there is no secret recipe. When it comes to legislation, there is no way around it; you have to read and access the standards frequently. The ones you access the most will obviously give you more proficiency. The more you expose yourself to the texts, the more proficiency you will have. But I will give you some tips here that, if you urgently need to demonstrate some knowledge, will help you understand the NRs. First, it is worth remembering that there are 37 titles of Regulatory Standards, but in fact, we have 35, since two were revoked, 2 and 27. If you intend to learn them all at once, it will be unfeasible, in addition to taking a long time. So the trick is to use the grouping of standards by type. The NRs are divided into 3 types: GENERAL, SPECIAL and SECTORAL REGULATIONS. General Standards are those that, regardless of the company's activity, you will certainly have to know and apply at some point. In other words, prioritize your studies starting with these. There are 8 General Standards: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 17 and 28. Your first goal is to know these standards very well. Next, you should study the Special Standards: 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33 and 35. Here we have 18 more standards, so we already have 26. The other 9 NRs are the Sector Standards, that is, they will only apply to the sector in which you work, or intend to work, being: 18, 22, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36 and 37. If you are already working, start with the NR of the economic sector of your company. My suggestions for the sequence of studying the NRs: 1) Memorize the titles of all the standards first. a) If you come across any risk or danger, whichever is the title of a standard, you will already know which standard you should consult. b) Try to memorize the keyword in the title of the NR, for example, NR-34 — Working Conditions and Environment in the Construction, Repair and Ship Dismantling Industry. Just remember the word NAVAL and you will already know which one it is. 2) Within each group, first study those that have some relationship between them, for example: a) I would study the General Standards in this order: 1, 9, 17, 7, 4, 5, 3 and 28. b) I would study the Special Standards in this order: 6; 10, 11, 12 and 35 23 and 26; 15, 20 and 33 13, 14 and 19 8 and 24 25; 21. c) I would study the Sectoral Standards according to my area of ​​activity, or the one I wish to work in. But if you are not working, my tip is that you study 18, 31 and 32. The contact with these sectors is usually greater. These are just suggestions, based on my experience. But you can study in the way that is most comfortable for you, the important thing is to assimilate the content. Cruz, occupational safety engineer.
