Abstract
The pressure vessels are important equipments in the production processes of companies. These equipments have great potential of risk, which when not projected, improperly installed or used inappropriately and with non-periodic and irregular maintenance can cause accidents of various proportions. Therefore, the safety control of pressure vessels of an institution must be controlled effectively and be coupled with some mandatory principles of management of such equipment, for this there are the Regulatory Standards (Normas Regulamentadoras – NR), of the Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego - MTE, as well as the Brazilian Regulatory Standard (Normas Brasileiras de Regulamentação – NBR) of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas – ABNT. This work conducted the mapping, characterization and evaluation of the pressure vessels of a mining company in the state of Minas Gerais, specifically within two ore treatment units in order to establish an effective safety management of these assets through the application of the Brazilian norms to ensure a safe and reliable process focusing on the culture of accident prevention.
