Monthly Safety Leadership Message from Bernerd Da Santos
Staying always on for safety is the only way to work at AES. When we don't stay switched on for safety, the consequences can be fatal. Earlier this week, I shared the tragic news of two contractor fatalities and a serious injury at our Eletropaulo business that happened on Sunday, July 26. These two fatalities, along with the contractor fatality on June 20 that we discussed during the Safety Pauses last week, make three AES contractor fatalities all involving trucks over the last two months. That's three too many. I am dedicating this month's safety message to what we're doing to ensure our contractors are putting safety first.

2015 AES Innovation Congress Award Winner Spotlight
Presenter Wagner Lopes and authors Jose Michelin, Odemberg Veronez, Fabiana Menezes, Gisele Scavassa and Paola Bocardo at AES Tietê, part of the Brazil SBU, received first place in the Applied Technologies category with the project: Drone Oversight Makes Reservoirs Safer, More Productive and Profitable. The project describes how AES Tietê teamed up drones with geocatalog programs to be more effective stewards of the land that surrounds its hydropower facilities. AES Tietê operates 12 hydropower plants and is responsible for the land by its hydropower facilities which includes some rough terrain. Several service companies were employed at significant cost to monitor reservoir land and water areas. The team found a way to improve its management by combining satellite imaging, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and drone technology. Using drones that work with mapping systems, they can watch the land more closely than ever before. Response times to weather, theft, trespassing and other situations have been dramatically improved, while the need for manpower has reduced significantly.
