Petrobras implemented preventive measures to minimize disruption of coronavirus on its operations in Brazil

Brasilia, March 25 - Neftegaz.RU.Petrobras enhanced the work schedule, adopted a pre-boarding quarantine period, and reduced the operational staff at our offshore units. The company monitoring the situation resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and adopting measures to protect its employees (own and outsourced), in addition to preventing dissemination in the regions where it operates.

Over and above the measures already adopted - such as intensifying teleworking for administrative activities, monitoring suspicious cases, and undertaking preventive actions pre-boarding - the company take actions to safely reduce personnel and adjust the work schedule at its offshore units. Such actions are:
  • - Staff reduced to the minimum necessary on offshore units, with security guaranteed.
  • - Special stopover for teams that will continue to board, considering 7 days of prior isolation in a hotel provided by Petrobras, 21 days on board, and 14 days off work.
There will be no loss to the workers’ remuneration. Everyone will receive wages normally, including those not called for boarding; those who have had their shifts extended will get payment for overtime, including the isolation period.

These measures will reduce the movement of people, shift changes, and the number of flights to platforms, thus reducing exposure to the risk of contagion.
