On February 16, an outsourced worker at the Class 10 School of Ceilândia, in the Federal District, fell from a height of approximately four meters when cleaning a awning at the entrance of the college. The worker did not use any safety equipment and was not trained for work.
A video of the accident released on social networks shows Sandra de Souza Marinho, 41, using a ladder to clean the awning with a water jet, and proves the lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
After the accident, Sandra was taken to the Base Hospital, where she remained in serious condition. She died on 22/02, just before the doctors ended the confirmation protocol of the worker's brain death.
The worker was employed by Real JG Facilitis. The company has been trying to get rid of responsibility by stating, to the G1 press monopoly, that Sandra was not trained for the service, that the PPE was compatible with the conservation function and who was the director who asked Sandra to clean the Roof, because "under no circumstances, she or other employees should do this kind of work, especially using a ladder." However, the hiring document of the company provided for the monthly cleaning of the gutters and the roof, still specifying the use of ladder with appropriate equipment provided by the contracted company.
Known from Sandra even commented on social networks that she was "a very hardworking and hardworking woman." They also stated that nothing takes the responsibility of the company "that submits cleaning employees to such services."
A netizen also commented on the platform Instagram who worked 7 years in the same company that provides service in DF schools, stating that "we are really obliged to do things that are not in the contract for fear of losing our job." And if questioning the person in charge, "he says he has to do what the management will send."
