Every day thousands of people wake up early, take their transportation and stamp their time cards on the various industries of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Day in, day out, these workers manufacture cars, construct buildings, design furniture, create games, and push the economy forward to help develop the country. Ensuring a safe work environment is a key factor for these professionals who efficiently perform their activities. And this has a direct impact on the success of the industry.

Raising the standard of health of workers and of industry productivity is the mission of SESI (Industry Social Service of the state of Rio de Janeiro), the Sistema FIRJAN (Industry Federation of the state of Rio de Janeiro) institution that provides education, health and well-being to workers.

SESI offers occupational health and work safety and security services and thus contributes to a safer, healthier and more productive industry. It goes even beyond: it offers a wide variety of activities aiming at education, information and raising the well-being standard of the workers and their dependents. After all, workers with a good level of schooling, who are healthy, well informed and have good judgment are capable of working better and producing more.

SESI transforms industry with well-being and productivity.
