    Segurança deve ser valor inegociável sempre, sabemos que o mundo cobra a celeridade do processo e com isso muitas vezes priorizamos fazer ao invés de priorizar o fazer com segurança. Segurança precisa estar na cultura, precisa ser de fato um valor da organização, e não é apenas entregar EPI, é mostrar, treinar, aculturar os colaboradores da empresa de que é possível fazer de forma segura. Investir nos equipamentos adequados (sem dar jeitinho ou improvisar), medir tempos e movimentos e treinar continuamente o time, são as formas que acredito serem as mais eficazes para conseguir o equilíbrio necessário.

    First, I truly believe in a "zero loss culture" (0 accidents, 0 recalls and 0 waste). Balancing efficiency and safety in warehouse operations is crucial for sustainable success. It’s really important to maintain this equilibrium by integrating advanced technologies and fostering a safety-first culture. Continuous training, real-time data analytics, and automation not only streamline processes but also enhance safety protocols. By prioritizing safety as a non-negotiable element of your operational strategy, you ensure that efficiency never comes at the cost of your team's well-being. This holistic approach drives productivity while safeguarding your most valuable assets—your people.
