Brazilian Forest Safety Meeting
The Encontro Brasileiro de Segurança Florestal (Brazilian Forest Safety Meeting) was created to answer the demand of professionals in the forest sector for the preservation of life and for a safe and productive work environment.
The forest sector has a high rate of accidents when compared to other segments. However, companies in this field have been making an effort to create mechanisms which may help lower the risks of physical harm and other material consequences. Several OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) programs have been implemented, but their success will only be ensured once safety is recognized as a Value and established as corporate culture within companies and among the people themselves.
Discussing what is being done today within businesses in order to improve safety in the forest sector is the main goal of this meeting, which brings experienced professionals, lectures, research and case studies, divided in four thematic sessions:
• Making Safety a Value
• Safety, Productivity and Costs in Forest Operations;
• Developments in Safety;
• Safety Programs: Forest Companies Case Studies.
Target audience: technicians, engineers, businessmen, students, professors and other professionals working in the forest sector.
