In 2023, as shown in the graphs below, there was a reduction in the frequency rate of work accidents with and without time off by 21% and a reduction in the total number of work accidents by 24.1%. The reduction occurred in both lost time accidents and no lost time accidents, representing one of the first results of the Occupational Safety Transformation Program.
The year 2023 was marked by the primary nature of the operation and maintenance processes of the Belo Monte HPP plants. That resulted in an increase in the number of men per hour worked in relation to Norte Energia’s internal activities. However, when compared to 2022, there was stability in the Men-Hours of Risk Exposure indicator.
This occurred due to the decrease in Man-Hours of Risk Exposure related to service agreements. The following tables and graphs represent the 2023 health and safety indicators. 2022 data is also presented for comparison purposes.
