Regulatory Compliance & H&S Management
The legal framework on occupational health and safety (OH&S) goes beyond the regulation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMs) in Decree 1072/2015 and Resolution 312/2019 of the Ministry of Labor. Legislation on this matter also provides guidance and best practices on how to address the different risks and hazards to be found in a broad array of industrial sectors.
At the firm we specialize in legal matrices that effectively fulfill the purpose of guaranteeing the health and safety of workers, beyond developing documents that only refer to the applicable legislation. Therefore we address the compliance in OSH, based on the evaluation of the risks and dangers faced by the organizations with which we work, taking into account the applicable regulations and standards. Among the risks and dangers we address are the following:
- Biological (viruses, bacteria, parasites)
- Physical (noise, lighting, vibrations)
- Chemical (dust, gasses and vapors, particulate matter)
- Biomechanical (load handling, repetitive movements, forced postures)
- Safety hazards (mechanical, electrical, working at heights, confined spaces)

In line with our preventive approach and interest in implementing effective OH&S solutions, our consultants integrate the contingency plans derived from the legal matrices to corporate communications schemes (intranet, cloud management systemsetc.). This is done to follow up on the effective implementation of the matrices and conformity guidelines.ompliance.
Additionally, we do follow-up work on the legal compliance of companies in sectors with significant exposure to risks and hazards, such as mining, oil, health and construction, taking into account the specific standards set for these industries.
Examples of the industry recommendations and practices we incorporate to our practice are the following API (American Petroleum Institute (API) guidelines::
- Práctica recomendada por el API No. 54: Práctica recomendada para la seguridad y salud en el trabajo en operaciones de perforación de petróleo y gas y operaciones de servicios (API Recommended Practice 54 – Recommended Practice For Occupational Safety For Oil And Gas Well Drilling And Servicing Operations).
- Práctica recomendada por el API No. 74: Práctica recomendada para la seguridad y salud en el trabajo en operaciones onshore de producción de petróleo y gas (API Recommended Practice 74 – Recommended Practice For Occupational Safety For Onshore Oil And Gas Production Operations).
- Estándares 220 del API: Proceso para el rendimiento en seguridad por contratistas (API Standard 2220 – Contractor Safety Performance Process).
