Abstract

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.
