Continue reading and understand why it is important for your company and how Tecnotri can help your business comply with the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is NR 17?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NR 17 is known as the \u201cergonomics standard\u201d. It was approved by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legisweb.com.br\/legislacao\/?id=181217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MTb Ordinance no. 3,214\/1978<\/strong><\/a>, as amended by MTPS Ordinance no. diseases, in order to ensure the health and well-being of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The objective of NR 17 is for companies to adapt working conditions to the psychophysiological characteristics of workers, thus allowing maximum comfort and performance so that they can operate their activities safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why is NR 17 important?<\/b><\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e103abf0-afd1-47d1-9fb4-335ced52e239\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>Different workplace illnesses are caused by numerous aspects existing in the places where the functions are performed, such as:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Repetitive efforts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lifting loads;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Activities carried out standing throughout the working day;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monotony.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth highlighting that the lack of processes that improve ergonomics at work can, in addition to harming employee health, lead to low productivity for companies. Therefore, failure to comply with NR 17 only brings disadvantages to your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is NR 17 mandatory?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This standard is intended for all workers and companies, regardless of the segment. When we talk about ergonomics, it applies to any work environment, whatever the position or activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NR 17 was created precisely to preserve employee health, reducing physical, mental and psychological efforts when performing the role.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How does NR 17 apply to companies?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check briefly what NR 17 determines:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b> Individual lifting and transport of cargo\/materials<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first rule of NR 17 concerns individual conditions for lifting and transporting loads and is especially concerned with young people aged 14 to 18 and women. The company is responsible for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evaluate the ergonomic issues of employees&#8217; activities;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understand the professional who will perform this function;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provide adequate transport equipment to reduce impacts on employee health, investing in ergonomic products that suit the work performed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Workplace furniture and equipment<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The furniture in the environment must also guarantee the physical integrity of employees. Therefore, crafting tables need to provide the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conditions for maintaining proper posture;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good view;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Height and characteristics compatible with the activity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minimum distance between vision and the focus of activity, preserving vision, neck and spine;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furniture with dimensions that allow movement;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pedals or foot support to ensure proper posture and angle;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seat with adjustable height and backrest adaptable to the lumbar region.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Environmental working conditions<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This rule refers to the lighting and noise level of the work environment. Noise levels, for example, must follow the determinations of NBR 10152. The temperature of the rooms also needs to be evaluated, as well as the lighting, which must be distributed evenly and diffusely.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> Work organization<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To follow this rule, the company must take into consideration the points that concern &#8220;the psychophysiological characteristics of the workers and the nature of the work to be performed&#8221;. In other words, the company needs to check some issues to implement NR 17:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Production standards;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The operative method;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The time requirement;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The determination of the content of time;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pace of work;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The content of the tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, rules must be established within the company, such as rest breaks, working hours, among other related issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the consequences of non-compliance with NR 17?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not complying with the requirements presented by NR 17 can cause several losses to your company, including labor lawsuits and compensation in cases of work accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the financial impact, there are other connected factors that can also have consequences. When an employee does not have adequate tools to perform their duties, productivity is directly affected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By failing to comply with NR 17, situations of absence due to illnesses, both physical and emotional, tend to increase. This influences production and even the brand&#8217;s image, as working in a company where conditions are bad is bad advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How can Tecnotri help your company comply with NR 17?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tecnotri has equipment specifically developed to meet different regulatory standards, including NR 17.
