PDCA Cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act)
The SSO management system approach applied in this document is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (Plan-Do-Check-Act) (PDCA) concept.
The PDCA concept is an iterative process used by organizations to achieve continuous improvement. It can be applied to a management system and each of its individual elements, as follows:
a) Plan: to determine and assess SSO risks, SSO opportunities, other risks and other opportunities, establish the SSO objectives and processes necessary to ensure results in accordance with the organization’s SSO policy;
b) Do: implement the processes as planned;
c) Check: monitor and measure activities and processes in relation to the OH&S policy and OH&S objectives and report the results;
d) Act: take measures for continuous improvement of SSO performance, to achieve the intended results.

Attention: The Course teaches how to apply the normative concepts of the standard, which enables you to sign Projects, Reports, Expertise etc. are the attributions that the Legally Qualified Professional has with their Class Council, such as the CREA.
This course aims to study situations where it will be necessary to apply: Concepts and Calculations according to relevant Standards and does not replace the analysis and responsibility on the part of each professional accredited by CREA or other Class Councils in the most varied situations, where makes it imperatively necessary to respect the equipment conservation conditions, periodic measurement of the instruments, such as respect for the primary capacity predetermined by the PPE manufacturers, among others based on the corresponding Standards.

Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use
Interested Party;
Stakeholder – Person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by, a decision or activity.

The justification of the Price and Value relationship:
The pricing of any service requires expertise related to the business world and the concept of Value is qualitative, directly linked to the potential for transformation existing in that content. The service has more value when it has professional knowledge and secrets added and the price is a variable consequent to the value, whose objective is to transmit it in numbers. Thus, the greater the value added to the content, the greater its fair price. Therefore, we do not authorize the use of our Proposals as proof of closing with third parties with a lower price, or of secondary interest. Quality, Safety, Efficiency and Excellence, in every sense, are our values.

Attention:
NR-12.1.16 Hoisting equipment that receives attached baskets for lifting people must be subjected to periodic tests and inspections in order to guarantee its proper functioning and structural integrity.
12.1.16.1 Tests must be carried out to prove the structural integrity, such as ultrasound and/or acoustic emission, according to ABNT NBR 14768:2015.
12.3.17 It is prohibited to move loads suspended from the hook of the hoisting equipment simultaneously with the movement of people inside the attached basket.

Causes of the Work Accident:
Lack of alert from the employer;
Lack of employee care;
Even carrying out all the mandatory Occupational Health and Safety Training and Reports, in the event of an accident at work, the employer will be subject to Processes such as:
Police Inquiry – Civil Police;
Expertise through the Criminalist Institute;
Investigation Procedure at the Regional Labor Office;
Civil Public Inquiry before the Labor Public Prosecutor’s Office to verify that the other workers are not in danger;
The INSS will question the cause of the accident that could have been avoided and refuse to pay the benefit to the employee;
Relatives may file a lawsuit in the Labor Court claiming Moral, Material, Dislocation, etc.;
Procedural Tsunami forcing the Employer to generate Defense Strategy even if it is right;
Although the Labor Delegation Law does not provide that “culpa en vigilando” applies, but only the responsibility for delivering the equipment, it is worth noting that the Employer is also responsible for keeping watch;
When an accident occurs, in addition to destroying all the “good humor” in the relations between employees or also the very serious problem of defending oneself from a series of procedures at the same time, then it is worth investing in this prevention;
The Employee cannot carry out activities exposed to risks that could compromise his safety and health, so the Employer will be able to respond in the criminal and civil spheres.

Important:
If necessary, the use of Lifting Machines and Equipment is MANDATORY, immediately before moving, to carry out:
01 – Elaboration of the APR (Preliminary Risk Analysis)
02 – Work Permit (PT);
03 – Check EPIs and EPCs;
04 – Check the Machine or Equipment Operational and Maintenance Instruction Manual;
05 – Check the Technical Inspection Report of the Equipment and Anchoring Points with ART;
06 – Maintain Equipped Rescue Team;
07 – Safety meeting about the operation with those involved, contemplating the activities that will be developed, the work process, the risks and the protection measures, according to the risk analysis, recorded in a document to be filed containing the legible name and signature of the participants;
a) Visual inspection;
b) Radio operation check;
c) Confirmation that the signals are known to all those involved in the operation.
08 – The safety meeting must instruct the entire work team, among others involved in the operation, at least on the following dangers:
a) Impact with external structures;
b) Unexpected movement;
c) Fall from height;
d) Other specifics associated with the lift.
