Q & A

Why are hands considered the most affected body part in workplace accidents?

Hands are often involved in tasks that require physical interaction with machinery, tools, or materials, making them highly susceptible to accidents in the workplace.

What was the total number of workplace injuries in Brazil between 2018 and 2021?

Over 450,000 workplace injuries were reported in Brazil between 2018 and 2021.

How can managers minimize risks when assigning tasks to employees?

What should be prioritized when there's a risk in the workplace?

When there is any risk present, safety must be the top priority before making any decisions.

What are some recommended strategies for reducing workplace accidents?

Some strategies include training employees well, establishing break times for recovery, using clear signage indicating proper PPE, and following proper safety protocols for machinery.

Why is it important for workers to take breaks for physiological recovery?

Taking breaks for physiological recovery helps prevent fatigue and reduces the likelihood of accidents due to tiredness or lack of focus.

How can signs and information boards help improve workplace safety?

Information boards that indicate which PPE is required for each task or area help workers easily identify the necessary safety equipment, contributing to better compliance with safety regulations.

What is the recommended approach for managing workplace risks?

The recommended approach is to eliminate, substitute, or control risks through engineering controls, administrative controls, or PPE, ensuring that the most effective safety measures are in place.

What role does Sesi São Paulo play in workplace safety?

Sesi São Paulo provides educational content and resources to help industries manage workplace safety and health, ensuring a safer environment for workers.
