Within the scope of the management system, in addition to determining procedures, we carry out inspections and supervision of the activities performed. With regard to third parties, we also inspect and demand documents to assess compliance with current legislation and the Company’s mandatory procedures. This system works based on the official rules in force in the country, the Equator Principles, and ISO 45001 guidelines.
In our day-to-day activities, we manage Health and Safety through five macro themes:
- Emergency response: a contracted emergency brigade supports the management of all emergencies at the Belo Monte HPP, such as industrial and forest fires, wildlife rescue, environmental emergencies, accidents, sudden illness, various rescues, medical care, among others;
- Legal service: encompasses issues related to compliance with regulatory standards, of the programs and the entire legal foundation related to the subject;
- Quality of life: includes ergonomics and quality of life programs for employees;
- Occupational health: in addition to inspecting contractors in terms of health, this area also takes care of occupational exams and the quality of life of employees, managing the outpatient clinic at Belo Monte HPP and the levels of absenteeism at the Company;
- Occupational safety: addresses compliance with legal requirements, as well as the inspection of contractors and the development of improvements in activities and in the work environment, with the aim of reducing the risks involved.
