DIMENSION 1: Health and safety
Safety is not negotiable at Braskem. We care for our
team members, and adopt practices to ensure their
safety and health. We have occupational health and
safety committees in every operation: the local com-
mittees are responsible for local risk assessments and
educational campaigns and they also participate in inci-
dent investigations and other local actions.

IMPACTS GRI 403-9 | SASB RT-CH-320a.1.
In 2020, the three activities with major accidents were i.
cargo handling, ii. accidental contact with hazardous che-
micals and iii. falls. Accident prevention actions focused
on reducing risks through technologies and equipment
that can replace workers or minimize their exposure to
risks, implementing improvements in engineering controls
and adopting preventive maintenance programs. Admi-
nistrative measures included enhanced risk analysis tools,
improved planning for the execution of activities, training
programs and more effective individual protection.
Unfortunately, in 2020 we recorded a fatal acci-
dent involving an outsourced party due to a leak of a
flammable chemical followed by a fire in our operations
in Alagoas. We have strengthened our safety practices
after the accident, and started a series of studies and
acquisitions of state-of-the-art equipment to further
improve our processes.
In spite of the regrettable fatality, we reduced the acci-
dent rate with and without lost time by 27% compared to
2019, with the best performance in the last three years.
Our goal is to achieve better results in Health and
Safety by strengthening human reliability to reduce
human errors. Other actions include careful planning
and risk assessments, training sessions and process
improvements. To this end, in 2020 we continued our
Human Reliability Program, reviewed our SSMA mana-
gement process for third parties and put the Mechani-
cal Integrity Program into practice, with an emphasis on
efficient management.
