Our employees and contractors have access to outpatient services, including checkups by nurses and physicians. When necessary, workers are referred for additional exams and specialized medical care. Bracell also has an Emergency Response Plan for incidents at its plants, which operate 24 hours a day and are organized into three shifts. Forestry operations have a Strategic Occupational Safety Plan.

Our Process Safety, Emergency, and Business Risk Management team also assesses risks and hazards associated with production processes and business continuity.

Each mill has a dedicated 24-hour emergency team, including an emergency response team on call during all shifts, along with fire wardens at our São Paulo mill with appropriate emergency response equipment, such as water and chemical fire engines, ambulances, portable cannons, and automated external defibrillators. In Bahia, the emergency team is a member of the Camaçari Industrial Park’s Mutual Emergency Response Plan (PAM), and may be called on to respond in an emergency.
