Programa de gerenciamento de riscos: análise e aplicação no setor metalúgico

Abstract

This work focused on the development of a Risk Management Program (RMP) targeted at the metallurgical sector, highlighting the relevance of a solid and technically grounded structure for corporate risk management. The importance of a dynamic and adaptable RMP, which should be reviewed and updated periodically, according to changes in the business scenario and the emergence of new risks, was underlined. The proposed RMP represents a living and adaptable tool, capable of evolving with the expansion and complexification of business activities. The need for continuous revisions and updates of the RMP was emphasized, to foresee and mitigate new risks, as well as minimize existing ones. The multidisciplinary nature of planning meetings was highlighted as fundamental for maintaining and enhancing the plan's effectiveness. The work also underscored the importance of identifying potential risk situations for the elaboration of Scenario Sheets, essential components of the company's Internal Emergency Plan (IEP). It was stressed that the integration of the IEP with other existing plans is crucial for more effective risk management. The responsibility for the implementation of the proposed measures falls on the company, which should see the adoption of a robust RMP as only the first step - the effective application of strategies will determine the success of the program. For this reason, a proactive approach to risk management, emphasizing risk prevention and anticipation instead of reacting to incidents, is crucial. The awareness and continuous training of employees about the risks inherent in their activities is an essential aspect for the effectiveness of the RMP. Everyone should be fully aware of safety procedures and their role in maintaining a safe work environment. The role of the company's leadership, whose commitment and involvement are indispensable for the consistent implementation of measures, stands out. It was also stressed the importance of incorporating the RMP into the organizational culture, making each employee see themselves as an integral part of risk management. Risk management should be understood as a process of continuous improvement, involving learning from experiences and proactive adaptation to changes. Finally, the work emphasized collaboration and partnership with external entities, such as regulatory bodies, trade unions and research institutions, to strengthen the RMP. In summary, the design and implementation of an efficient RMP are complex tasks, but fundamental to promote a safe and healthy work environment, maximizing operational efficiency.
