Let's talk a little about NR-11: transportation, movement, storage and handling of materials. Regulatory standard published in 1978 by ordinance 3,214, which underwent three amendments in 2003, 2004 and 2016. NR-11: Special Standard According to the classification of NRs, brought by ordinance 787 of November 27, 2018, NR-11 is a special NR, which regulates the execution of work considering the activities, facilities or equipment used, without being conditioned to a specific sector or economic activity. Combining this information with the analysis of the title of NR-11, we can already have an idea of what it will cover. It addresses specific machinery that is used in various sectors of the market, and is obviously important for those who work with these activities that make use of this machinery. Right in its first item, the standard already provides information that it will address safety in the operation of elevators, cranes, industrial conveyors and transport machines, that is, all equipment used in the transportation, movement, storage and handling of materials (look at the title of the standard). Throughout its text, the standard provides guidelines for the best way to use this machinery, always in favor of safety in its use, that is, safety at work. The entire normative part, which is not long (there are three pages with items and subitems of the standard), provides guidance on the safest way to use the machinery in a very specific way. #NR11 #SST #RegulatoryStandards
