Non-Conformity (or Background/ Justification in the case of Observations):

The assessment observed during the field inspection of the different activities that the cooperators were

wearing the PPEs as per the environmental risk prevention program for the development of their specific

activities. Moreover, it was noted, in the PPEs delivery forms, that the PPEs are distributed to the

cooperators without any charge. The work fronts foremen and the safety technicians are tasked to the

responsibility of monitoring whether PPEs are being worn accordingly.

The following gap was detected when the block Fazenda Cachoeira (Project 2007- Stand 21 L) was

inspected:

 Two chainsaw operators were working with their visors raised next to an operator who was

cross-cutting timber.

This is a risky situation that jeopardizes the cooperators´ eyes and faces.

Corrective Action Request (or Observation):

Personal protection equipments (PPEs) shall be provided or assured to all the cooperators. These PPEs

shall be provided free of charge and they ought to be appropriate to the tasks and equipments that are

employed. Wearing PPEs shall be mandatory and it shall be monitored by the organization.
