The health and safety of professionals who work for Even (including outsourced workers) are at the forefront. To this end, all employees allocated to our construction sites undergo training in Occupational Health and Safety. Only after completing the integration training in safety and operational procedures can employees start their activities.
We provide and monitor the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Every month our construction works receive technical visits and audits to raise employees' awareness of safety, besides periodic specific training. In total, there are 480 hours per year of consultative technical visits by the occupational safety professional at each construction site and another 80 hours/year of training. After these efforts, in 2021, we achieved all the monthly goals for safety training (Gdfor), safety at construction works, equipment release, and accidents with a leave of absence of over 15 days.
We keep the remediation plans active at our headquarters, such as the regularization of the AVCB license (Auto de Inspection of the Fire Department), and we continually improve the Technical Development of Construction works Program, which regulates and monitors the guidelines and routines of our construction sites, for through performance targets, measured periodically.
As we work with 100% outsourced labor in the construction works, any complaint about the safety or health of workers is made directly to the union. When this occurs, it is only after the union indicates the problem that we can implement improvements and preventive measures in the contracted outsourced companies and Even, if applicable.
SESMT works to ensure that there are no labor cases analogous to slavery among our suppliers and in the value chain. Monitoring is done through inspections, audits and the Supplier Document Management system (GDFOR). This ensures compliance with labor legislation and that all labor is registered and certified before entering the construction site.
In 2021, we held another edition of the Internal Accident Prevention Week (Sipat), also dedicated to employees' mental, spiritual, emotional, social, physical and professional health. The event addressed the year's main challenges in terms of health and safety and was attended by sailor Lars Grael.
