The series

Safety told in comics

Carlão, Paula, Toninho and the crew live through the situations a field team meets on site: the missing PPE, the tool out of place, the report nobody wanted to file, the drive to the job, the colleague who is not doing well. Each issue takes one theme from daily life on the work front and settles it in four pages, with humour and no lecturing. The comics are in Portuguese.

Inside the magazine

One theme per issue, one page to keep

The first three pages tell the story. The fourth is a reference: a PPE map, a vehicle checklist, the table of environmental aspects, the mental-health scale. It is the page that goes on the site notice board. Printed copies circulate on the work fronts and feed the daily safety talk.
