What Sintesp does

SINTESP (Sindicato dos Técnicos de Segurança do Trabalho no Estado de São Paulo) is a nonprofit labor union founded in 1984 that exclusively represents Occupational Safety and Health Technicians (Técnicos de Segurança do Trabalho) across the State of São Paulo, Brazil. It is affiliated with the national Força Sindical confederation and operates as the legally recognized bargaining agent for the professional category, negotiating Collective Labor Agreements (CCTs) with employers across commerce, healthcare, construction, engineering consulting, and industry segments.

The union's service portfolio includes professional registration (Registro Profissional), SESMT composition registration for companies, labor termination homologation, instructor certification courses covering regulatory norms NR-33 (Confined Spaces) and NR-20 (Flammable Liquids), forklift and crane operation, and occupational hygiene, plus published access to CCT documents. It maintains 19 regional offices (DRS I through DRS XIX) covering all major Departmental Regional Health regions of São Paulo state, supported by a website self-service portal at sintesp.org.br and active Facebook and YouTube channels. No proprietary technology stack is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through diversified recurring streams: annual associative contributions (R$125 for TST students, R$250 for working technicians and other SESMT professionals), monthly confederative contributions (R$60) deducted by employers and passed through to the union, sales of CCT documents to non-members (R$50–R$300 per segment depending on year, with 2025/2026 CCTs at R$300), paid instructor training courses priced R$700–R$1,500, professional registration fees of R$250 for non-associates, and branded merchandise sales. Members in good standing receive up to 60% course discounts, free homologation after one year of confederative contribution, and access to a partner ecosystem spanning universities, dental plans, and leisure providers. A new elected board was inaugurated on April 15, 2025 for the 2025-2029 management term.
