Regulatory Compliance & OH&S Management
The legal framework on occupational health and safety (OH&S) goes beyond the regulation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMSs) 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.
Our firm develops legal matrices, which effectively take into account the specific needs and features of our clients in order to maximize health and safety at the workplace. Thus we go beyond establishing matrices that make reference to governing legislation, but actually start from a thorough base analysis to fully comply with the law and applicable standards via well-structured contingency plans. Our firm addresses OH&S compliance based on the evaluation of the risks and hazards faced by our clients, pursuant to the applicable regulations, industry standards and best practices.
- 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 systems, etc.). This is done to follow up on the effective implementation of the matrices and conformity guidelines.
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) standards:
- API Recommended Practice 54 - Recommended Practice for Occupational Health and Safety for Oil And Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations
- API Recommended Practice 74 - Recommended Practice for Occupational Health and Safety for Onshore Oil and Gas Production Operations
- API Standard 2220 - Contractor Safety Performance
