Assessment of compliance with NR-20 in a distributor of fuels derived of petroleum and biofuels

With a view to greater control in the process of managing activities involving flammable and combustible products, the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) standardized Regulatory Standard 20 (NR-20). In this context, a case study was carried out at a Fuel Distributor located in the city of Manaus/AM. Taking into account the stored volume and based on the NR-20, a check-list with items of the standard was created and applied and the compliance with the requirements of construction conditions, maintenance, operation, health and safety was verified. The company presented 95% Compliance, which demonstrates a good management system in occupational health and safety, given its performance in the storage, transfer and handling of liquid fuels.

Dinâmica locacional da estrutura produtiva nas mesorregiões do Ceará nos anos de 2005 e 2015

Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral estudar a dinâmica locacional das atividades econômicas no Estado do Ceará a partir de suas mesorregiões, nos anos de 2005 e 2015. Para tanto, os dados básicos utilizados para a construção dos indicadores referem-se aos empregos formais classificados por setores entre as mesorregiões do estado do Ceará, obtidos na Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), mantido pelo Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE). Os principais resultados apontaram a mesorregião do Jaguaribe como mais especializada no ramo agropecuário tanto em 2005 (8,43) quanto 2015 (9,71) demonstrando a influência da modernização agrícola nesta região. A mesorregião Metropolitana de Fortaleza apresentou desempenho significativo no setor de Comércio e Construção Civil, em ambos anos analisados, demonstrando especialização no setor. Embora tenha diminuído a concentração no setor industrial da mesorregião, cabe destacar que essa reorientação espacial na Indústria foi destinada a municípios que compõe a Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza, reafirmando, assim, a apropriação espacial pela reestruturação produtiva. Os setores de serviços e comércio apresentaram um alto grau de especialização e foram os mais significativos entre as mesorregiões cearenses nos anos analisados. Por outro lado, o setor de Construção Civil está concentrado nas mesorregiões Metropolitana de Fortaleza (1,19) e Norte Cearense (1,02), no ano de 2015.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF REGULATORY STANDARD No. 35 (NR-35) - CASE STUDY

In many construction texts, the risk of falling becomes worrying, often overlooked and / or overlooked as an employee or employee. The MTE (Ministry of Labor and Employment) presents 30% of occupational investments that occur each year and falls from a height. In order to reduce the rate of falls, a Regulatory Standard No. 35, located for work at height, with a reference capacity for this work was created. safety. And with the expansion over the years, an increasing number of accidents have been added, and so on, increasingly frequent. This work aims to implement a Regulatory Standard - NR 35 for an improvement of the work execution process.

A BEEKEEPING AND ROTARY SOLIDARY FUNDS: ARE THERE POSSIBILITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT?

Beekeeping has been used as a meaning of increasing income for farmers in the Zona da Mata Sul in the state of Paraíba. This activity received financial support through the Solidarity Productive Projects Support Program (PAPPS) through Solidarity Rotating Funds, financed by the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), also by SENAES, as well as Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB), a policy of solidary finance to "lost fund", in which the beekeeper receives the fund and has as fundamental element the investment in the beekeeping activity. The central objective of this study is to investigate possibilities of sustainable development of the territory with beekeeping that receives public resources. The research methodology is qualitative, based on field research, on-site observations and in-depth interviews, more precisely between the Tambaba and Nova Vida settlements. With the arrival of the Solidarity Rotating Fund, this activity had its rise and, in this perspective, we had as a central objective to verify possibilities of local territorial sustainable development from the beekeeping as an alternative of income production, through this public policy. The Beekeepers Cooperative of Paraíba (COOAP) received this fund and invested among beekeepers - a fund called "lost fund" because it is not returned to the bank, but must be redistributed among beekeepers.

SPATIAL STUDY OF INCIDENCE RATES OF OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENTS IN BRAZIL FROM 2002 TO 2012

The intensive process of economic growth and job creation in Brazil in the last years is often associated an important dimension where this process is far drop satisfactory: the high incidence rates of occupational accidents. Important instruments can be constructed from the quantitative study considering possible changes caused by economic dynamics over the years. We conducted exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) to analyze the spatial distribution of this rate in order to identify critical regions in Brazil. Data were extracted from the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) and from the Brazilian Ministry of Social Security websites for the years from 2002 to 2012. Results show that the incidence rate of occupational accidents in Brazil is distributed in a geographically non-random manner and municipalities with high rates tends to cluster.

Nurses’ Job Market Profile in Brazil

Introduction: The expression ‘job market’ refers, in general terms, to the dynamics and behavior of the labor force available in the market. It encompasses the relations between employment and unemployment, income levels, working hours, and contractual relations, including wage, workforce distribution in the economy sectors, relations between capital and labor. Objective: Characterize nurses’ job market profile, within the period 2009-2013, in a northeastern Brazilian state. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach and data obtained from two public databases: the Brazilian Social Information Annual Report (RAIS), by the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE); and the number of registrations in the Regional Nursing Council in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (COREN/RN). Results: Regarding employment agreements, a certain stability was identified within the period, reducing the number of job positions in 2012 and 2013. When comparing data of nurses’ workforce, through records from COREN/RN, to job positions of the RAIS, since 2011, a clear mismatch between the number of job positions and the number of nurses available in the market was found. Conclusion: It is concluded there is a maintenance trend with worse unemployment, especially among young individuals, if three situations highlighted in 2013 persist: growth in nurses’ educational level, staying in Rio Grande do Norte, and stability or maintenance of a decreased number of job positions available.

Emprego formal e rotatividade no mercado de trabalho agropecuário no nordeste: 2000-2001 e 2009-2010

The transformations in the Brazilian agricultural production rebounded sharply on labor relations in this sector. The expansion of agricultural activity, followed by the enthronement of technology, had profound consequences for the rural labor market in Brazil. This article aims to analyze the socioeconomic profile and especially the turnover of employees in the agricultural segment of the Brazilian Northeast, a region with significant records of temporary crops, which in recent years has adopted technological innovation in the field. The years 2000 and 2010 were chosen for the analysis of socioeconomic characteristics of agricultural workers in the Northeast, and the 2000-2001 and 2009-2010 biennium to measure the turnover rate. The data are from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) and the General Register of Employed and Unemployed Persons (CAGED), of the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). To reach the proposed goals, as a method of analysis, we initially make a brief literature review on the dynamics of the Brazilian labor market, with emphasis on the analysis of the northeastern agricultural labor market. On the basis of descriptive statistics, we analyze the socioeconomic profile of employees in the sector in question. Additionally, we calculate admission and dismissal rates, the rate of net job creation, as well as the turnover in agricultural and farming jobs. The empirical evidence reveals structural changes in the industry: on the one hand, there is an absolute increase in the number of formally hired workers between 2000 and 2010 and, on the other, an increase in the number of workers in the lower income brackets. The turnover rate also increased between the first and the last period analyzed. This indicator shows that especially women, youth and less educated and low-paid persons are those who remain less time employed in the agricultural sector. It is found that turnover/instability in the agricultural market in the Northeast rose over the first decade of the 2000s. This performance can be attributed both to seasonality and to the strong tendency of creation and destruction of jobs after the opening of the Brazilian economy.Keywords: formal agricultural work, turnover, Northeast of Brazil.

Desenvolvimento local, empreendedorismo e "governança" urbana: onde está o trabalho nesse contexto?

O artigo questiona três concepções de políticas públicas que se apresentam hoje como propostas alternativas ao paradigma econômico neoliberal e à precarização do mercado laboral que veio em sua esteira: desenvolvimento local, empreendedorismo e governança urbana, tendo como objeto as empresas que compõem o Arranjo Produtivo Local de Tecnologia de Informação da região de Londrina (PR) , o qual se insere dentro das políticas públicas aqui problematizadas. Os dados coletados do MTE demonstram que essas empresas tendem a aportar as atividades rotineiras presentes nas cadeias de valor das grandes transnacionais do ramo, que são mais sujeitas às vulnerabilidades laborais postas pela mobilidade que o capital ganhou com a globalização da economia. Assim, diferente da perspectiva oficial que orienta essas políticas, os resultados remetem a indicadores de precarização já consensuais na literatura especializada sobre o tema: baixo grau (relativo) de escolaridade, salários em torno de 0,5 a um salário mínimo, e alto índice de rotatividade.

Sujetos del trabajo precario: el caso de los protagonistas del mercado de la construcción en Brasil

<p>Este artículo tiene como objetivo central analizar la rotatividad en la industria de la construcción civil brasileña, sector con el mayor rendimiento en la contratación de trabajadores, en el segundo quinquenio de la primera década de este siglo. Metodológicamente recurre a la revisión de la literatura, complementado con el análisis comparativo de la evolución del perfil de los trabajadores del sector. Entonces, desde el movimiento de admisión y despido de trabajadores, se crea el índice de rotatividad, tratando de retratar aquellos que son los más vulnerables a este proceso. La fuente de datos proviene del Informe Anual de Informaciones Sociales (RAIS) y el Registro General de Empleados y Desempleados (CAGED) del Ministerio de Trabajo y Empleo (MTE). Los años seleccionados incluyen los bienios 2006-2007 y 2009-2010. Los principales resultados muestran un importante crecimiento en la contratación de trabajadores con la participación masiva de mano de obra masculina, se concentró en los grupos de mayor edad, con bajo nivel de educación e ingresos en los rangos salariales de los primeros. Además, la rotatividad resultó ser mayor en los hombres, los jóvenes con baja escolaridad y los ingresos medios en las escala de los primeros.</p>

Emprego feminino na produção canavieira do Estado de São Paulo - 2000/2010

The feminist movements’ struggle for equal rights emphasizes social changes. However, although much has been achieved over the years, the battle for space in the labor market remains a constant challenge for woman. The records on the labor market show the inclusion of women with more vigor in recent years, even in traditionally male professions segmentation. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the profile of women’s jobs in sugarcane production in the state of Sao Paulo. The choice for this state is directly related to the fact that it is the largest producer of sugarcane in the country. To account for the interest of the study, we used data from the List Annual Social Information (RAIS) of the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). The time frame focuses on the years 2000 and 2010. The main result show absolute and relative increase in female participation in the labor market in all major sectors of economic activity classified by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistic (IBGE), including the cultivation of sugarcane, the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE). Were recorded concentrations of the majority of women in large establishments, with a strong focus for reemployment in sugar. The profile of the female segment in the sugar industry points to a higher incidence of women aged 30-49 years with low education, higher turnover and high concentration in the range of lower wages. Thus, in can be inferred that female participation cultivation of sugarcane in the state of Sao Paulo grew and intensified in the years 2000 and 2010, an increase of the amount that happened to a pari passu insertion regulated from records on the portfolio and the precarious low wage level and the consequent reduction in living conditions.

Recuperação econômica e emprego formal: avaliação para o Nordeste brasileiro entre 2000 e 2008

Since the last two decades of the twentieth century, Brazilian economy undergoes profound structural and juncture changes which compromised its capacity for generating formal job posts. With the resumption of the economic growth since 2003, Brazilian job market has shown signs of recovery. This paper investigates how the Northeast Region was benefited with the recent generation of formal job posts, and determines the profi le of such posts. Data from the General Registration of Employees and Unemployed (CAGED) from the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) show significant increase in the number of formal occupations in the country (9,732,062) between 2000 and 2008, with 13.20% of these new posts located in the Northeast (1,842,162). This region, in 2008, concentrated 40.33% of its posts in the service sector, in microsized companies (87.51%) composed mainly of male workforce (66.78%), aged between 18 and 24 years old (81.31%), with completed high school (71.03%), earning in its majority (70.91%) at most up to 1 minimum wage. It is shown that the Northeast region increased the job posts stock throughout the 2000s, however this occupation was selective by sex, age and schooling level, in addition to precarious, since it is observed high turnover rate and low salaries, despite improvements in the educational level of its workforce.Key words: formal employment, job posts number, Northeast.

Industrialização E Emprego Formal: Avaliação Empírica No Ceará Vis-A-Vis O Piauí – 1998/2008

This paper seeks to compare the profile of the processing transformation industry in Ceara and Piaui in 1998 and 2008, besides analyzing the socioeconomic characteristics of their workers. For this, we consider the number of industrial establishments, the distribution of employment by sector, the number of workers per sector of manufacturing industry, the number of employees by establishment size, gender, age, education level, length of service, full pay, average wage by education level and average earnings by sector of manufacturing industry. Data are from the List Annual Social Information (RAIS) of the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). By comparing with Ceara to Piaui, the objective is to analyze the recent dynamics of the labor market in these states, which traditionally listed among the poorest in the country. As a way to improve their socioeconomic and demographic indicators from the early 1990s, Ceara and Piaui follow adopting policies of fiscal incentives to attract industries to their Units of the Federation. The main results on the one hand, are positive and indicate that between 1998 and 2008, Ceara and Piaui were benefited with respectively 3678 and 876 industrial units, which enabled the opening of new formal jobs. Moreover, the data show that these jobs are precarious at both FUs, characterized by high turnover, low wages, and high selectivity by gender, age and education.
