MRV Engenharia promote a nationwide plan to fight the Aedes aegypti
MRV is an example of private initiative that is contributing to the elimination of Aedes aegypti foci in Brazil.
The increase in the number of cases of diseases transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito in Brazil, such as zika, dengue fever, and chikungunya, is bringing society together to eliminate the mosquito proliferation sites. MRV Engenharia is one of the role models of how the private sector is helping to eliminate these sites, based on a nationwide program that involves all its workers.
“We, at MRV, are being careful, at a national level, to avoid forming any Aedes aegypti mosquito breeding sites in our construction sites and also in our workers’ homes. This is why their [[the workers’]] involvement is crucial,” explains Ricardo Acassio Santos Anjos, Occupational Safety coordinator at MRV.
According to Anjos, MRV’s program, replicated allover Paraná, includes weekly reminders, re read during the Occupational Safety meetings, and also targeted lectures on this matter. “Our construction sites are also filled with posters that reinforce the need of everyone to stay alert,“ he says.
According to the coordinator, there is also an appointed worker responsible for checking, on a daily basis, conditions on each construction site. “All packages and containers are correctly disposed of and even small puddles, which are common in construction sites and a real danger for mosquito proliferation, are swept so that they dry off more quickly. We also pour calcium hypochlorite and quick lime to sterilize water and avoid risks,” he says.
Joint action
Last week in Maringá, MRV promoted an inspection and lecture drive on the fight against the Aedes aegypti mosquito and occupational safety on the Spazio Merlot construction site, involving the Municipal Department of Health, the Union of the General Construction Workers (Sintracon), the Regional Engineering and Agronomy Council of Paraná (Crea-PR), the Union of the State of Paraná General Construction Workers (Sinduscon-PR).
