Occupational safet, health and well-being

Currently, all employees are covered by the HSE management system, which establishes corporate requirements for risk prevention, health protection and the promotion of safe working conditions. Service providers are also included in this system when they operate in our facilities, being subject to health and safety standards applicable to the activities performed and integrated into the corporate processes of monitoring and control. 

Our actions in health and well-being go beyond compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, bringing together actions of occupational health, health surveillance, readiness and response to critical situations, in addition to health and well-being promotion initiatives. 

The actions follow corporate norms and guidelines that guide the development of the Occupational Health Medical Control Program (PCMSO), in compliance with Regulatory Norm no. 7 (NR-7) of the Ministry of Labor and Employment, and articulated with the Risk Management Program (PGR), which identifies and manages the risk factors present in the work environments. 

We monitor health-related absenteeism through the Percentage of Time Lost due to Health Issues (PTL-H), which measures hours lost due to absences from illness or accidents. For employees on leave for more than 15 days, we offer the Working Capacity Recovery Program (PRPL), which provides interdisciplinary follow-up focused on restoring the capacity for work and returning to the workplace. 

In 2025, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, we offered vaccines from the national adult vaccination calendar at units and administrative buildings. We also promoted health and well-being initiatives as Petrobras Running and Walking Circuit, the Health Games, agroecological product fairs and breastfeeding support rooms. 

In the area of mental health, we have committed to implementing, by 2030, 100% of the commitments of the Mente em Foco (Mind in Focus) Movement, an initiative of the UN Global Compact – Brazil Network. Our work is supported by a structured and ongoing Mental Health Program, organized into five levels of care: culture and education, individual follow up, prevention, preparedness and surveillance. 

As part of the continuous improvement process of the HSE management system, we develop strategic programs and initiatives with prioritization guided by structured diagnoses, based on risk analysis, performance indicators, audit results, epidemiological analyses and organizational learnings. 

The Commitment to Life Program is one of them

Another program, implemented in 2024, is the Petrobras Well-Being Program (PPBEM) is the Commitment to Life Program that seeks to promote well-being through integrated action at all levels of the organization. 

The Petrobras Program against Sexual Violence (PPCVS) has expanded its scope to combat other forms of workplace violence, such as moral harassment, discrimination and retaliation, and was renamed Petrobras Program against Sexual and Workplace Violence (PPCVST). The program consists of four lines of action: strategy, prevention, welcoming and complaint handling. 

Our HSE Management System follows the best practices of the sector and is aligned with the main standards, including those of ANP, which addresses the assurance of operational safety at industrial facilities. 

The strengthening of organizational learning in HSE, aligned with the strategic direction set forth in the HSE Policy, resulted in the review of nine development tracks – seven of them related to the Commitment to Life Program 9th Cycle – and the creation of four new tracks, totaling 36 available at the end of the cycle. To expand access and facilitate employee experience, all tracks have been automated and integrated into the corporate system, allowing them to be taken on any mobile device, depending on the user’s availability. 

One of our top metrics is the Total Recordable Injury Rate per million man-hours (TRIR). In a continuous process of evolution and improvement, this indicator, which until 2015 was above 2.0, has been kept close to 0.7 in the last three years. The TRIR for own employees was 0.31, while the TRIR for contractors was 0.83, evidencing the need to intensify actions with the supplier chain. 

Among the cases with leave of absence, there were 23 of our employees and 144 contractors, resulting in a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0.24 and 0.44, respectively. 

In 2025, three fatal accidents occurred, one involving an employee of a contracted company in the execution of our contracts and two involving own employees (one of them at Transpetro), resulting in a Fatal Accident Rate of 0.30 for contractors and 2.10 for own employees.  

All accidents were analyzed by a multidisciplinary team, which identified root causes and defined containment and broader scope actions to prevent new occurrences. The lessons learned are shared at all units, through a robust system of dissemination of learnings, reinforcing preventive measures in our management system.
