PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) Cycle
The OHS management system approach applied in this document is based on the  Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) concept.
The PDCA concept is an iterative process used by organizations to achieve continuous improvement. It can be applied to a management system and each of its individual elements as follows:
a) Plan:  determine and assess OH&S risks, OH&S opportunities, other risks and other opportunities, establish objectives and the OH&S processes necessary to ensure results in accordance with the organization’s OH&S policy;
b) Do (Do):  implement the processes as planned;
c) Check: monitor and measure activities and processes against the OH&S policy and OH&S objectives and report the results;
d) Act:  take steps to continuously improve OH&S performance to achieve intended results.

Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use Stakeholder;
Stakeholder – Person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by, a decision or activity.

The justification for the Price and Value relationship:
The pricing of any service requires expertise related to the business world and the concept of Value is qualitative, directly linked to the potential for transformation existing in that content. The service has more value when it has professional knowledge and secrets added and the price is a variable consequent to the value, whose objective is to transmit it in numbers. Thus, the greater the value added to the content, the greater its fair price. Therefore, we do not authorize the use of our Proposals as proof of closing with third parties with a lower price, or of secondary interest. Quality, Safety, Efficiency and Excellence, in every sense, are our values.

Causes of the Work Accident:
Lack of warning from the employer;
Lack of employee care;
Even after carrying out all the mandatory Occupational Safety and Health Training and Reports, in the event of an accident at work, the employer will be subject to Processes such as:
Police Inquiry – Civil Police;
Expertise through the Criminalist Institute;
Investigation Procedure at the Regional Labor Office;
Civil Public Inquiry before the Labor Public Prosecutor’s Office to verify that the other workers are not in danger;
The INSS will question the cause of the accident that could have been avoided and refuse to pay the benefit to the employee;
Relatives may file a lawsuit in the Labor Court claiming Moral, Material, Dislocation, etc.;
Procedural Tsunami forcing the Employer to generate Defense Strategy even if it is right;
Although the Labor Delegation Law does not provide that “culpa en vigilando” applies, but only the responsibility for delivering the equipment, it is worth noting that the Employer is also responsible for keeping watch;
When an accident occurs, in addition to destroying all the “good humor” in the relations between employees or also the very serious problem of defending oneself from a series of procedures at the same time, then it is worth investing in this prevention;
The Employee cannot carry out activities exposed to risks that could compromise his safety and health, so the Employer will be able to respond in the criminal and civil spheres.

Prescriptions for Forklift Use. Operator Qualification: For safety reasons, the forklift can only be used by personnel sufficiently trained in their function and who have demonstrated to the supervisor in charge their aptitude for driving the same and obtain aptitude in the clinical examinations in agreement with the doctor.
Rights, duties and rules of behavior for the driver: The driver must have been instructed about his rights and duties, as well as how to use the vehicle, so he must know the contents of this instruction manual. The required rights must be guaranteed.
Prohibited use by unauthorized personnel: The driver is responsible for the vehicle during the time he is using it. He has to prevent its use or handling by unauthorized persons. It is forbidden to transport or lift people.
Defects and Breakdowns: Defects and breakdowns of the forklift must be immediately communicated to the person responsible for proper repairs to the defects or breakdowns. Forklifts that do not present safety conditions (for example, worn tires or defective brakes) must not be used until they are properly repaired.
Repairs: Drivers who have not received special training and express authorization cannot carry out any repairs or modifications to the vehicle. It is absolutely forbidden to disconnect, deactivate or change the setting of switches and safety devices.
Danger zone: The danger zone is one in which people or property are at risk due to the movement or lifting of the vehicle, its load-bearing elements (for example, forks or other accessories) or the load itself . The perimeter belongs to the danger zone where there is the possibility of a load falling or where the downward movement or the fall of a work device is possible.
Note: Strangers must be kept away from the danger zone. When there is a risk to people, a warning signal (horn) must be activated in time. If, despite the abandonment request, there are those who remain in the danger zone, the vehicle must be stopped immediately.

Internal Combustion Forklift: These forklifts are powered by internal combustion engines such as gas (LPG), diesel or gasoline engines. They are commonly used outdoors where ventilation is adequate due to exhaust emissions. They are suitable for moving heavy loads and are widely used in warehouses, ports and industries.
Electric Counterbalance Forklift: These forklifts are powered by electric motors and are powered by rechargeable batteries. They are popular in indoor environments such as warehouses and factories due to their quiet, emission-free operation. They are also ideal for working in confined spaces due to their compact design.
Reach Forklift: These forklifts are designed to reach greater lift heights than conventional forklifts. They have retractable arms that allow you to extend and retract the load, allowing them to operate in narrow aisles. They are commonly used in warehouses with high shelving systems.
Side Fork Forklift: Also known as offset fork trucks, these forklift trucks have forks that can move sideways. This allows them to handle loads in narrow aisles and reach shelves without having to reposition the forklift.
Rough Terrain Forklift: These forklifts are designed to operate on uneven and rough terrain such as construction sites or outdoor areas with unpaved surfaces. They are equipped with off-road tires and enhanced suspension features for greater stability and traction in difficult conditions.
Reach Forklift: These forklifts are similar to reach trucks but have the ability to extend the forks and tilt the load forward. This allows them to reach and handle loads in deep shelves, while maintaining stability.
