    Trabalhar em áreas inundadas exige cuidado extremo. Garantimos a segurança da equipe com as seguintes práticas: Análise de Riscos: Identificamos perigos como choques elétricos e condições instáveis do terreno. Equipamentos Adequados: EPIs isolantes e à prova d’água são obrigatórios. Desenergização: Sempre que possível, desenergizamos linhas para evitar acidentes elétricos. Treinamento: A equipe recebe instruções sobre evacuação e primeiros socorros. Monitoramento Climático: Mantemos contato constante com previsões do tempo. Comunicação Eficaz: Utilizamos rádios confiáveis para comunicação em tempo real. Com planejamento e atenção, protegemos vidas em situações críticas.
