ESTUDO DA NR10 E NBR5410 EM PAINÉIS ELÉTRICOS: ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA INDÚSTRIA ALIMENTÍCIA

Abstract

The topic addressed in this study highlights the importance of workplace safety, highlighting the need for compliance with regulatory standards in industrial environments. The relationship between workplace safety and operational efficiency is discussed, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures to ensure a safe working environment. The proposed case study aims to examine how the NR-10 and NBR5410 standards can be effectively applied in the retrofitting of industrial electrical panels, which are identified as essential components in industrial environments, responsible for the safe and controlled distribution of electrical energy. The work takes place in a food industry, where old panels posed risks to employees due to lack of compliance with safety recommendations. The research adopts an exploratory and qualitative approach, using information from technical standards and specialized literature. The proposed improvements include the correction of identified non-conformities, such as the addition of protection against solid particles, proper identification of cables and the implementation of emergency buttons to disarm in the event of an incident. Also, it is suggested to adapt the industrial plant to guarantee safety in electrical installations, integrating control measures with other company initiatives to promote an organizational culture of safety. This work seeks to reduce the risks of electrical accidents in maintenance activities, proposing solutions to increase the reliability of industrial panels, in line with standards NBR-5410 and NR-10. Furthermore, the academic importance of this study stands out, which can contribute to improving technical and scientific knowledge about electrical safety for future professionals in electrical engineering, occupational safety and related areas.
