Bracell did not record any occupational diseases among employees or workers in 2024. No worker was excluded from the management of occupational hazards and risks. These risks are monitored and managed based on medical records in the SOC management system and legally mandatory programs such as our Rural Occupational Risk Management Program (PGRTR) and Occupational Health & Safety Program (PCMSO).

Bracell ensures compliance with Regulatory Standard 01, using specific work orders to ensure conformity to occupational health and safety guidelines. Additional preventive tools include task safety analysis, prevention cards, and permits to work. In reporting information on occupational disease hazards and risks, Bracell follows Brazil’s Regulatory Standard 07, covering the Occupational Health Surveillance Program; NR 01, which sets out general provisions on occupational risk management; and NR 17, which addresses ergonomics—ensuring strict control over any factors that may affect workers’ health.

Information on the main types of work-related ill health is not disclosed for confidentiality reasons under the Brazilian General Data Protection Regulation (BR GDPR) and due to doctor-patient privilege.

All employees diagnosed with work-related illnesses are treated and monitored by Bracell’s Health team. When necessary, they are referred to specialists, with costs covered by the company. If an employee requires medical leave exceeding 15 days, they are referred to the social security agency (INSS) to apply for accident-related benefits.

In all cases, a Work Accident Report (CAT) is filed. We monitor treatments through to the employee’s full recovery and return to duty. In addition, the workstation is assessed, and an action plan is implemented to prevent recurrence of occupational illnesses.
