Burnout, moral harassment, and RMP: mapping risk without denying worker dignity
Burnout and harassment require method in the NR-1 inventory: safe channels, impartial investigation, and measures that change management — beyond brochures. LGPD and union dialogue in the same package.
Strategy

Choosing an OHS partner through a mature RFP: methodology, evidence, PGR–eSocial integration, and decision-making that does not push responsibility onto the SESMT alone.
Strategy
Safety culture, BBS, and human factors: fair feedback that fixes conditions first
Behavior Based Safety works when there is organizational justice, parity in observation, and investment in engineering — not just posters and observation quotas.
Strategy
ESG and OHS: indicators investors won't buy without operational backing
TRIR and fatalities are not marketing: punitive ESG is tied to auditable data, PGR, and financial materiality under IFRS/ISSB and reporting best practices.

Strategy
OHS 4.0: IoT, sensors, and predictive analytics without mythologizing the worker's role
Vibration, camera, and wearable data can anticipate failures and incidents — provided governance, privacy, and human–machine competence are clear.
Strategy
Computer vision, PPE, and behavior: ethics and regulatory compliance in the filmed factory
Cameras and vision models can reinforce PPE use and safe zones — with legal limits, bias, and clear policies on retention and transparency with workers.
Strategy
Wearables and smart PPE in enterprise operations: from proof of concept to PGR
Thermal wristbands, connected helmets, and fatigue sensors can support OHS — with legal limits, battery life, calibration, and privacy under LGPD.
