GEOAMBIENTE holds event on Workplace Safety and Health

The goal is to raise awareness about accidents and illnesses occurring during or as a result of work activities.

World Day for Safety and Health at Work aims to raise awareness of workplace accidents and illnesses through initiatives that inform people about the risks that occur during or as a result of work activities.

To encourage safe practices at GEOAMBIENTE S/A, the Operations Department, together with the Health, Environment and Safety (SMS) Sector, held a meeting at the company’s headquarters highlighting the importance of the date through a group exercise showing the impact of a workplace accident — both on the employee affected and on their family, society and the company.

Technical Execution and Safety Manager Jony Henrique Silva de Souza and SMS Analyst Rosielma Silva Soares explain that through this kind of awareness, small everyday actions can help minimize the risk of accidents, keeping in mind that such accidents can happen.

The exercise reinforces the need to use safety equipment — whether collective or personal protective equipment — to reduce the risks of daily activities, in addition to encouraging safe habits. See the photos.
