The present work consists in the development of a check list for the evaluation of the conformities and nonconformities of the industrial environment of a furniture factory located in the West of Paraná, in relation to the elements recommended by regulation number 12 of the Ministry of Labor and Employment , where 11 machines and equipment were evaluated for 11 items in NR12. The research identified the need for adequacy and implementation of necessary safety measures in all the inspected machines, among which we can highlight: need of installation of electrical ground; availability of the instruction manual to the employees who operate them, and especially the suitability of these equipment for the collection of dust generated during the process. It was also verified the degree of nonconformities with the life time of the machines and equipment, where the older ones were the ones with the greatest number of nonconformities characterizing obsolete equipment and that do not offer safety to the workers.
