PPP – Profile for Social Security Purposes
The Social Security Profession Profile (PPP) constitutes a historical-labor document of the worker that gathers, among other information, administrative data, environmental records and biological monitoring results, during the entire period in which one performed one’s activities in the respective company.
EHS has its own system for preparing the PPP, ensuring the effectiveness of the information made available in the PPP.
With its mandatory elaboration as of 01.01.2004 (fixed date by INSS/DC 96/2003), the PPP’s primary objective is to provide information to the worker regarding the environmental working conditions, mainly in the special retirement requirement.
The PPP aims to:
- Prove the conditions for qualifying social security benefits and services, in particular, the special retirement benefit;
- Provide the worker with means of proof produced by the employer before Social Security, other public bodies and unions, in order to guarantee all rights arising from the employment relationship, whether individual, diffuse or collective;
- Provide the company with evidence produced in real time, in order to organize and individualize the information contained in its various sectors over the years, enabling the company to avoid undue lawsuits related to its workers;
- Provide public and private administrators with access to reliable information bases, as a primary source of statistical information, for the development of sanitary and epidemiological surveillance, as well as the definition of public health policies.
Created to replace the old forms called SB 40, DISES BE 5235, DSS 8030 and DIRBEN 8030, which have always been mandatory only for those workers who work exposed to harmful agents to their health, its legal requirement is found in § 4 of the art. 58 of Law 8.213/91.
Previously, only workers who were entitled to early retirement, with the so-called special retirement, received the forms replaced by the PPP.
As of January 1, 2004, the company or equivalent to the company was obliged to prepare the PPP, individually for its employees, independent workers and cooperative members.
The requirement covers those who work exposed to harmful chemical, physical, biological agents or association of harmful agents to health or physical integrity, considered for the purpose of granting special retirement, even if the requirements for granting this benefit are not met, either by effectiveness of protective equipment, collective or individual, or because permanence is not characterized.
