Brazil STF Injunction on NR-1 Psychosocial Rules Expires; Fines Reinstated

The 90-day injunction suspending punitive enforcement of five NR-1 items on psychosocial risk factors expires today, reinstating fines and penalties for non-compliance. The STF's unanimous decision, effective since August 18, is now lifted, creating immediate compliance pressure on Brazilian employers. Uncertainty remains over the final ruling in ADPF 1.316, which could still alter the standard's scope.
