Transpetro mobilizes to combat Aedes aegypti

 

Transpetro intensified its actions to prevent and combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Since the beginning of February, it has joined its efforts with the other companies of the Petrobras System and engaged in the National Plan to Confront Aedes and Microcephaly, launched by the Federal Government.

The company's strategy is to make its land and sea personnel aware of the importance of taking part in the campaign. Through lectures, the company has given information about zika, dengue and chikungunya to his own employees and to the service providers of the contracted companies, so that they act as multipliers of the campaign, sharing knowledge with family, friends and neighbors. Cleaning efforts are also being carried out in all units and buildings of the company, focusing on the detection and elimination of possible breeding sites.

The initiative covers other stakeholders of the company, such as suppliers and communities surrounding its facilities, in a preventive education work to reduce cases throughout the country. As a reinforcement to the campaign, Transpetro produced educational material, which is being distributed also in these communities.
