Your company compliant with the new NR-1
Since May 26, 2026, every company with CLT employees must manage psychosocial risks with the same rigor applied to physical risks. 7Q Ergonomics brings Swiss expertise in ergonomics and organizational health to ensure your legal compliance in Brazil.
What the updated NR-1 requires
Regulatory Standard No. 1 is the legal foundation of all Occupational Health and Safety in Brazil. The 2024–2026 update expands obligations that were previously limited to physical risks to now mandatorily include psychosocial risks.
GRO — Occupational Risk Management
Every company must implement a continuous system for identifying, assessing, and controlling risks, covering physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and, now, psychosocial agents.
PGR — Risk Management Program
Mandatory document that materializes the GRO: risk inventory, action plan, targets and monitoring. It must include Psychosocial Risk Factors (FRPRT) explicitly and traceably.
Psychosocial Risks (FRPRT)
Work overload, excessive pressure for targets, moral harassment, toxic organizational culture and interpersonal conflicts must be mapped, documented and treated preventively.
Worker Participation
The standard requires active involvement of employees in the risk identification process, with formal consultations and CIPA acting as a structured participation channel.
Right to Refuse Serious Risk
Workers may interrupt activities when they identify a serious and imminent risk to health or safety, without penalty — a right now formally reinforced in the standard.
Records and eSocial
All OHS documents must be kept up to date and consistent with events submitted to eSocial. Fatal accidents and occupational diseases require immediate notification to the authorities.
Service Orders
The employer must instruct workers, through documented service orders, on precautions to prevent accidents and occupational diseases — both physical and mental.
Continuous Review of the GRO
Risk management is not static: it must be reviewed whenever there are changes in work processes, new technologies, internal reorganizations, or changes in applicable legislation.
Compliance schedule
Understand the history and the deadlines your company must now meet.
