Starting May 26, 2026, the occupational safety landscape in Brazil will undergo a significant transformation. Regulatory Standard No. 1 (NR-1), which establishes general health and safety guidelines, will have its new wording officially in effect, requiring all organizations governed by the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) to integrate psychosocial risks into their management programs.
To clarify the impacts of this update and guide the technology and innovation sector, ABES (Brazilian Association of Software Companies) will hold a [event/session/event] on April 23rd at 8:30 am. live stream dedicated to the topic. The event will focus on the practical transition to the new requirements, addressing how companies of all sizes — from micro-enterprises to large corporations — can ensure compliance and legal security.
The speakers who will be with us are:
Sergio Amad, CEO of Fiter and Director of ABRH-SP
Ana Claudia Moro, Legal Consultant (ABES)
Carolina Marzano, Chief Compliance Officer (ABES)
The new pillar: Mental Health in the PGR
The main change is the mandatory inclusion of psychosocial factors in the Risk Management Program (RMP). In practice, situations such as chronic stress, burnout, workplace harassment, and work overload cease to be merely well-being issues and become legal obligations for monitoring and mitigation.
According to new guidelines from the Ministry of Labor and Employment, communication failures, unattainable goals, and solitary or repetitive tasks are examples of risks that should be identified. Neglecting these points not only exposes the company to sanctions during the inspection scheduled for May, but also compromises productivity, increasing error rates and absenteeism.
Technology as an ally
NR-1 encourages the use of technological solutions to facilitate this management. Monitoring software and incident reporting applications become essential tools for HR and occupational safety managers to record and mitigate risks quickly and efficiently.
ABES's live event reinforces the association's commitment to promoting healthy work environments and assisting its members in building robust compliance, combining legal requirements with best practices in people management.
