Specifically regarding Worker Health care, Norte Energia has a specialized team in the area, responsible for managing the PCMSO.
At the company’s outpatient clinic, located at the Belo Monte HPP, this team plays a fundamental role in the operationalization of health-related actions. This includes executing occupational examination schedules, providing assistance and emergency care, as well as conducting health and vaccination campaigns to ensure the well-being of workers.
At the same time, they are responsible for holding Security Dialogues, which address health issues, both with company employees and third parties.
In 2023, 75 health dialogues were held in the offices in Brasília, Pará and at the plant. During the year, we carried out a vaccination campaign against influenza, which immunized a total of 527 people in the Brasília and Pará offices, including internal employees, their dependents and service providers.
There was also monitoring of chronic cases through the Quality of Life and Absenteeism Management Program. In 2023, 599 sick notes were registered. Regarding services, 455 occupational and 9,368 assistance services were carried out.
Another activity carried out is the coordination of the Ergonomics Working Group. The Group aims to mitigate ergonomic dysfunctions in workstations, which contributes to improving the quality of working life and preventing accidents and occupational diseases. Throughout 2023, assessments and acquisitions were carried out, such as the installation of tables and stools to improve working conditions in the electrical gallery of the powerhouses and in the machine generator in Belo Monte. The proposed improvements were validated and implemented by maintenance teams, which contributed to a safer and healthier work environment.
