Representatives of the companies of the Cubatao Industrial Estate participated in this Wednesday (17) of the workshop Human Factors in Occupational Safety, promoted by the Center for Integration and Development (Cide), with support from the São Paulo State Industry Center (Ciesp) – Regional of Cubatão.
The event was organized by Cide’s Technical Commission for Work Safety and brought together about 30 professionals from associated companies and service providers who were able to expand their knowledge of the area through a lecture given by SafeStart’s Key Account Manager, Ricardo Semeghini.
The content presented is an important factor for safety in the workplace. Aspects such as haste, frustration, fatigue and complacency can lead to unintentional actions, which increase the risk of an accident. According to Ricardo, 90% of incidents and injuries are caused by human error.
The Speaker also pointed out that accidents are not restricted only to companies, risk is also present in the routes. An example of this is the fact that 25% of auto accidents have as their main cause, sleeping at the wheel. “The objective of this meeting is for professionals to learn important concepts that contribute to the well-being of workers, as well as reduce the risk of accidents caused by human factors”, says Ricardo.
For the coordinator of the Technical Commission of Work Safety, Renan Vieira, the concepts presented are interconnected to the safety procedures practiced in the industry. “We always strive to be attentive to solutions that contribute to the reduction of accidents in industries and human behavior must remain as a priority parameter to be monitored”.
The meeting brought together Occupational Safety professionals and related areas
Technical Commissions
The Technical Committees are working groups formed by members of companies associated with Cide and Ciesp Cubatão, which develop actions and projects for the sustainable development of the Cubatao Industrial Estate and, consequently, the municipality.
The members were promoted to the CCC with the planning for the new works
The Consultative Community Council of the Industrial Complex of Cubatão completes its 20 years of operation in 2019. Formed by representatives of industry, government, civil society and community leaders, the forum is an open dialogue channel conducted by the Center for Development Integration (CIDE) and brings together members monthly to discuss issues related to the Polo and surrounding communities. Each member also has the role of spokesperson to disseminate relevant information to the other residents of the neighborhoods they represent.
The Council works on projects and discussions across three fronts of action Education, Training and Employability; Health, safety and environment; and Projects.
In recent years, the council underwent a restructuring and had its way of improving operations with the creation of its internal regiment, based on the premises of Responsible Performance of the Brazilian Association of Chemical Industries – Abiquim. The new regiment was executed in March 2017, with the right to recognition of Abiquim for adopting the guidelines of the Responsible Action Program, in the requirement of open and transparent communication with stakeholders of Social Dialogue. With this formalization, the CCC of the Industrial Pole also began to participate in the National Meeting of the CCCs of Abiquim, held every year by the Commission of Dialogue with the Community.
For Irenilda Brito, a member of the council for 18 years and a representative of the Group of Leisure and Citizenship of the third age, the dialogue between the community and the industries is of extreme importance for the strengthening of the group in the city. She recalls the previous years and highlights her learning through projects and technical visits to the Polo, telling about her expectations for the future. “I hope we continue with the same commitment since the beginning of the CCC. We have to continue growing as a group to strengthen our bond, wear the same shirt and work on continuous improvement for the community.”
New projects
Members are common in our monthly activities at Cide/Ciesp Cubatão
Currently, coordinated by Caroline Carneiro and Renan Vieira, representatives of the company Yara Fertilizantes, and with the participation of the Executive Director of Cide, Raul Elias Pinto, as patron, the council integrates to its group new members belonging to the majority of the communities of the municipality.
For this year and 2020, the CCC will play a key role in carrying out studies on the Apell projects – Alert and Preparing Communities for Emergencies at the Local Level and for the revitalization of Agenda 21 from 2020 to 2035, as well as conducting other projects for the community.
Representing the Municipal Council for Children and Adolescents (CMDCA), Antônio Jorge emphasizes the pride of being a member of the CCC and of integration with the community. “I see my participation as a great responsibility that goes beyond being present at the meetings, but also working together with the Industrial Condominium in favor of the population for social growth. In my years of acting in the council, I have acquired experiences and knowledge to effectively participate in community issues. For the future, I believe the history of the CCC will inspire new community leaders for our city.”
“We have a group that represents the voice of the community. Throughout the history of our Community Advisory Council, the Industrial Pole has been able to get closer to the community, promote open dialogue and develop projects that have brought and bring significant results for the sustainable development of communities. Looking back, all the way down here, we see the main motivation we have to work for a better Cubatão: our union. May our integration remain as our greatest strength for new achievements in the coming years,” comments Raul Elias Pinto.
Today is World Environment Day, a moment of awareness for actions aimed at preserving the planet.
Cubatão is recognized by the UN as a symbol of environmental recovery. To support the title, large investments in control and environmental programs were carried out by the Industrial Pole of the city, through the Cide Industrial Condominium, consolidating the partnership between public power, private initiative and community.
Several actions are maintained through the execution of emission control and monitoring programs; management and reuse of waste; rational use of energy and water resources; maintenance of control systems and implementation of environmental improvements.
Over time, actions are enhanced with the objective of ensuring the commitment of environmental performance and quality of life of the population.
Cide counts on the Technical Commission for Protection and Defense of the Environment (Prodema) to build joint actions aimed at protecting and protecting the environment. The group actively participates in events such as the Baixada Santista Basin Committee (CBH / BS), Cubatão Municipal Environment Council (Comdema), Contingency Plan for Serra do Mar, among others.

The operation, which occurs 24 years ago in Cubatão between May and September – a period in which the weather conditions are unfavorable and the climate predominant is drier – is already underway in 2019 and consists of the daily wetting of roads and also within companies.
The entire process is done with reuse water and aims to maintain the quality of the air, preserving the health of the workers and the residents of the region.
In the last years, it was verified that Cubatão went through the winter period without any critical episode of air quality. It is estimated that in 2019, an average of 21 million liters of reuse water was used and traveled about 18,900 km.

This synergy is decisive for the sustainable development of the city”.
Faced with the challenges of the economy and in the midst of the actions that Brazil has been proposing to resume growth, synergy is the fundamental fuel for the search for shared solutions.
Cubatão enjoys ideal attributes to attract new investments, especially those related to the manufacturing industry. The partnership between Industrial Condominium and public power to publicize the potential of Polo has made the municipality recognized by several publics in the Country and the world, either by the production of high quality raw material, skilled workforce and industry-oriented logistics infrastructure complete, among many other reasons. All this effort aims to contribute to increasing employability and fostering local commerce.
The permanent dialogue with the community gives voice to the population and reaffirms the industry’s commitment to sustainable development and, consequently, to the entire region.
On this date, the important thing is to be united, because together we will always be stronger.
