Condições das instalações em empreendimentos que possuem armazenamento de combustível: avaliação segundo a NR 20 e outras normas

Abstract

Considering the growing population and increasing number of vehicles caused by economic development, there is therefore an increasingly significant consumer demand for petroleum-derived liquid fuels. However, storage of fuels are considered risk because often petroleum-based fuels are highly volatile and low flash point, increasing the possibility of burning and explosion. This study evaluated seven (07) companies, whose activity demanded of bulk liquid fuel and who had in their areas of storage tanks with a capacity below 15 m3. The evaluations were performed to the application of a "checklist" of conformity containing sixty-two (62) items to be investigated in each location. The checklist used included 3 topics in your content: The (NPT) 025 of the Code of Fire Safety and Panic Fire Brigade the state of Paraná; SEMA Resolution 021/2011 of the Secretariat of the Environment and Water Resources of the State of Paraná; and especially as complying of Norm n o 20 of the MTE. The results of the assessment proved unfavorable, considering that 100% of the companies did not comply with all items analyzed. Therefore, corrective measures were proposed for the implementation of a management system for safety and health at work that will allow companies to operate more prevention and control failures.
