Occupational safety, health, and well-being

Aligned with our Business Plan 2025-2029, our purpose is to care for people and protect the environment today and in the future. Thus, we are continually working to achieve excellence in health, safety, and environment through learning and continuous improvement, pursuing our ambition of zero fatalities and zero spills.

Furthermore, we integrated ESG (environmental, social and governance) elements into our plan into a single vision, summarizing our position on the subject. More than a concept, ESG is a risk/return view of how we should act to mitigate risks and ensure sustainability for the future, using the best environmental, social and governance practices.

Our ESG diagram guides planning and engagement with stakeholders and is aligned with our strategic elements and goals. Thus, one of the commitments made is the promotion of safe operations, focused on the protection of life and the the well-being of our more than 41,000 employees (Petrobras parent company). Our goal is that, at the end of their workday, each employee can return healthy and safe to their family. Therefore, in October 2016, we launched the Commitment to Life Program. The Program is made up of structuring projects defined based on critical analysis of HSE management, with reference to best market practices. In its eighth cycle, started and developed along 2024, we can highlight the actions seen in Figure 5.7.

At the moment, our more than 41,000 employees (100%) of Petrobras parent company are covered by our HSE management system. Our service providers also use this system when they are on the company’s facilities and are even evaluated by the HSE Management Assessment Process (HSE-MAP).

Occupational health

We care for the health of our employees 365 days a year, going well beyond compliance with occupational health legal requirements. We support employees from the very first step of their journey within the company through promotion, prevention, and preservation of physical, mental, and social well-being, aiming to create healthy and productive work environments.

We offer continuous health initiatives that contribute to the adoption of healthy attitudes and behaviors, placing the employee at the center of care. Our health promotion programs include individual, collective, and environmental actions. Among them, we highlight: Health Education; Mental Health Promotion; Promotion of Physical Activity; Promotion of Healthy Eating; Care during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding; Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (NCDs); and Prevention, Approach, and Monitoring of Treatment for Problems Related to Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Use.

Safety

Aiming at the continuous improvement of our HSE management system, specific structuring programs and initiatives are developed, such as the Commitment to Life Program, the Golden Rules, and the Fundamentals of Process Safety.

Since the launch of the first Commitment to Life Program in 2016, we had a significant reduction in the Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) from 2.15 to 0.67. We are working to have a highperformance culture, which demands health, respect for the environment and safety.

In order to support the safety culture, in 2016, ten safety Golden Rules were defined based on the most recurring accidents in the oil and gas industry and our history. Training on the Golden Rules is mandatory for all our employees in Brazil and abroad, as seen in Figure 5.8

Occupational health and safety indicators

One of our top metrics is the Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) per million man-hours. In 2024, we obtained a TRIR of 0.67, 16% below that achieved in 2023, when we achieved a result of 0.80, with 0.72 being the average of the last three years. The historical series which can be seen in Graph 5.2.

The TRIR for employees is 0.36, while the TRIR for contractors is 0.76, indicating the need for intensified actions with the supply chain to improve the indicator. We had 34 recordable injured employees and 233 recordable injured contractors. Out of the total of accidents with time off, 25 involved our own employees and 135 involved contracted employees, resulting in a Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) of 0.26 and 0.44, respectively.

In 2024, there were four fatal accidents, all involving employees of contracted companies during the execution of our contracts, resulting in an index of 1.00. In the four cases, the contracted companies involved took over the management of the funeral costs and provided (financial and psychological) support to the families, which we monitored to ensure that everything was done properly.
