PPRA
Program of Prevention of the Riscos AmbientaisNR. 9 This program seeks to establish the elaboration and implementação on the part of all the employers of PPRA, seeking the preservation of the health and of the workers' integrity through the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and consequent control of the occurrence of existent environmental risks or that come to exist. Those actions should be developed in the ambit of each establishment of the company, under the responsibility of the employer, with inclusion and depth dependent of the characteristics of the risks and of the control needs. Like this being, such a Program makes part of a wider group of initiatives and measures should be articulated with the other Normas Regulamentadoras, especially with to 7, PCMSO. They are considered environmental risks the agents physical, chemical and biological existent in the work atmosphere. He/she understands each other for physical agents the several forms of energy the one that they can be exposed the workers, such as noise, pressures, radiations ionizantes and non ionizantes, infra sound, ultra sound. . . They are considered chemical agents, compositions or products that can penetrate in the organism for any road (cutaneous, breathing, digestive), under several forms, such as tobaccos, fogs, gases, vapors, etc. . . Finally, biological agents are the famous ones, mushrooms, bacterias, virus, protozoa, helmintos and other parasites. Your structure should contain, in the minimum, the following: > Annual planning with establishment of goals, priorities and cronograma; Strategy and action methodology; He/she/you forms of registration, maintenance and popularization of the data Periodicity and form of evaluation of the development of PPRA. Your global analysis with reavaliação should be accomplished annually to make possible the accomplishment of the necessary fittings with establishment of new goals. PPRA should be described in a document base containing all the structural aspects, your alterations, complementations that, they will owe, besides to be discussed in CIPA when existent in the Company. cronograma should indicate the actions clearly, periods and goals be accomplished her. The development of the Program of Prevention of the Environmental Risks should include the following stages: Anticipation and recognition of the risks; Establishment of priorities and control goals; Evaluation of the risks and of the workers' exhibition; Implantation of control measures with evaluation of your effectiveness; Monitoramento of the exhibition to the risks; Registration and popularization of the data. The elaboration, implementação, accompaniment and evaluation should be made by a member of SESMT - Specialized Service in Engineering of Safety and in Medicine of the Work. The recognition of the environmental risks should contain the following items, when you applied: Visual identification; Determination and location of the possible generating sources; Identification of the possible paths and of the means of the agents' propagation in the work atmosphere; Characterization of the activities and of the exhibition type Identification of the functions and of the number of exposed workers; Obtaining of existent data in the company indicative of possible compromising of the health due to the work; The possible damages to the health related to the identified risks; Description of the control measures already existent. ' The quantitative evaluation should be accomplished whenever necessary to prove the control of the exhibition or the inexistence of the identified risks, besides dimensionar the workers' exhibition subsidizing the equacionamento of the control measures. They should be adopted whenever they be verified an or more of the following situations : Identification, in the anticipation phase, of potential risk to the health; Verification, in the recognition phase, of evident risk to the health; When the obtained results surpass the limits foreseen in NR-15; When, through the medical exam, the causal connection to be characterized. The program should follow the following hierarchy: Measures that eliminate or reduce the harmful agents' formation to the health; Measures that prevent those agents' liberation in the work atmosphere; Measures that reduce the levels or the concentration of the same ones. Of the employees' Responsibilities: To collaborate and to participate in the implantation of PPRA; To follow the orientations received in the trainings; To inform to your hierarchical superior the occurrences that can implicate risks to the workers' health Of the employer: To establish, to implement and to assure the execution of PPRA.
