Occupational Health and Safety
Occupational Health and Safety is present in Copel’s Strategic Reference Framework, specifically defined as one of the Company’s values. Based on this premise, it seeks to ensure a healthy work environment in which employees and managers collaborate in a process of continuous improvement in the protection and promotion of safety, health and well-being for all.
In this way, all employees and managers develop, along with their usual activities, a routine of care with safety, to ensure that no service is performed outside the existing procedures in the Company. This is reflected in the continuous improvement of programs and processes related to this theme.
Considering that Copel is composed of wholly-owned subsidiaries and that these have different characteristics of activities, with their own Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT), in addition to the corporate programs and campaigns, there are actions aimed at the specificities of each company.
Corporately, the Policies, Standards, Procedures and some actions and programs apply to the entire company, such as, for example, the Occupational Health and Safety Guides for contractors, the Risk Hunt Program, and the Quanto Vale a Sua Vida (How Much is Your Life Worth) behavioral campaigns.
