Our mine in the state of Paraíba organized its third annual Junior Safety Agent activity. The project was started in 2014 to set up a virtuous circle in relation to safety in the workplace and elsewhere.
By seeing and learning about our safety-first culture, employees’ and contractors’ children can make these new habits part of family life and reinforce parents’ awareness of the need for safety in homes and workplaces. In 2016, a total of 21 children aged 6 to 12 accepted our invitation to spend a whole day at the mine under the supervision of a group of volunteers, taking part in practical educational and recreational activities that showed them how and why we should ensure safe behavior down to the smallest details of our lives.
