NR-12 machinery inventory
The first step towards compliance: knowing exactly which machines are in the plant.
Why it is mandatory
NR-12 requires the employer to keep an up-to-date list of machines and equipment available to labour inspectors (item 12.18.1). The standard does not set a template: the inventory builds the list from what actually exists in the plant, machine by machine.
It is often the first document requested during an inspection, and the starting point for the risk assessment and the compliance report.
NR-12 (Machinery and equipment) applies to all machines used in Brazil, new or used, made in the country or imported. It is backed by arts. 184–186 of the CLT. Where there is serious and imminent risk, labour inspectors can shut the machine down (NR-3).
What you receive
- on-site survey of every machine and piece of equipment;
- photos of the machine and its nameplate;
- up-to-date list of machines, with the identification of each one;
- the option to manage the inventory in the Cini NR 12 software.
