WORK SAFETY PROCEDURE IN CONFINED SPACES: ELECTRICAL RISKS

Abstract

This article deals with electrical hazards present in confined spaces, which have restricted access and are not specifically designed for continuous occupation. The objective is to present preventive measures based on the guidelines of standards NR-33 and NR-10, highlighting the importance of technical methods and the appropriate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Collective Protective Equipment (CPE). The methodology adopted was a bibliographical research based on scientific articles, technical standards and case studies. As an expected result, it seeks to demonstrate that the strict application of the standards can significantly reduce electrical hazards in these environments. It is concluded that preventive action, combined with adequate training and compliance with standards, is essential for preserving the physical integrity of workers.
