GRI 403-5 Worker training on occupational health and safety
We provide Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training to equip Bracell employees with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge for their roles. This training, delivered in plain language, is designed to enhance well-being and minimize accidents and incidents. Training is provided to all new hires as part of their onboarding process immediately after joining the company.
In our São Paulo operations, we offer first aid training to employees in both forestry and mill operations, preparing teams for emergency response. The instructors for these sessions are employees from our health department.
We also run an annual training program for the fire teams responsible for responding to fires in our forestry and mill operations, in compliance with the regulations of the São Paulo and Bahia fire departments. These training sessions cover:
- Implementation of strategic actions;
- Use of equipment;
- Defensive driving techniques for firefighting vehicles;
- Use of helicopters for support in fire response;
- Best practices in local community engagement.
