Partnership Leax and Sesi in Training and Safety Makes News on RIC TV

It aired on RIC TV on November 12, 2025, at 7:20 PM, an excellent report on the quality of the partnership between Leax do Brasil and Sesi. At Leax, the commitment to excellence goes beyond producing high-quality automotive components. On November 12, with the RIC TV feature, the company celebrated the recognition of a strategic partnership with the Serviço Social da Indústria (Sesi) that is transforming the lives of employees and elevating safety and qualification standards in the workplace. This collaboration reflects the philosophy that “if we stop seeking excellence, we will cease to be good,” a maxim guiding Leax’s actions in investing in training that ensures a qualified workforce, promotes occupational health, and reinforces a preventive culture. This narrative explores how this initiative, aligned with the Brazilian Regulatory Standards (NRs), is shaping a safer, more conscious, and engaged workforce while reducing accidents and strengthening the company’s competitiveness in the Brazilian market.

The Leax and Sesi Partnership: A Pillar of Transformation

The partnership between Leax do Brasil and Sesi was recognized by RIC TV as an example of a safer and more efficient work environment. The Sesi, the industrial social arm in Brazil, provides technical and educational support that Leax uses to empower its employees, from machine operators to supervisors. This collaboration is not just an operational strategy; it represents an investment in human capital, recognized as the heart of industrial production. In 2025, with the automotive industry facing market challenges, workforce qualification became a competitive edge.

Leax found in Sesi the support needed to meet the Brazilian Regulatory Standards(NRs), created in 1970 by the Ministry of Labor and Employment to establish safety and health guidelines in the workplace. These 38 norms, which underwent a modernization process in recent decades, focus on Occupational Risk Management and Prevention, transforming into a tool for cultural change in companies. For Leax, this compliance is not just legal fulfillment but an opportunity to integrate safety and productivity, aligning with a market that values social responsibility

The Brazilian Regulatory Standards: A Cultural Revolution

The NRs, established in 1970, emerged as a response to the precarious working conditions of the time, when industrial accidents were frequent and poorly documented. Over time, these norms evolved, undergoing significant updates that culminated in a modernization focused on preventing risks before they occur. Today, they are 38 norms covering everything from work organization (NR-1) to machine safety (NR-12) and ergonomics (NR-17), all aimed at protecting the employee and optimizing industrial processes.

At Leax do Brasil, this legal framework is lived in practice. The trainings offered by Sesi help employees understand and apply the NRs, turning them into agents of change. A trained operator begins to identify risks such as excessive noise exposure or inadequate postures, adopting safe behaviors that benefit themselves and their colleagues. This awareness not only reduces accidents but also cultivates a preventive culture that permeates the entire organization, from the production line to management.

Practical Training: Qualification and Engagement

Leax’s training programs, in partnership with Sesi, are designed to meet the specific needs of the automotive industry. A striking example is the use of Sesi’s mobile units, which bring laboratories and simulators directly to Leax’s facilities. These equipped spaces enable hands-on training, where employees learn to operate machines safely, perform preventive maintenance, and handle emergencies. In 2025, this hands-on approach has already impacted over 500 employees, offering an immersive experience that reinforces theoretical learning.

This initiative goes beyond the technical; it engages employees, making them “wear the company’s shirt.” Trainings like Occupational Risk Management teach how to identify hazards before they become problems, while First Aid courses prepare the team to act quickly in case of incidents. The result is a more confident and motivated workforce that sees its role as part of a larger whole. For Leax, this translates into higher productivity and lower turnover, a direct benefit of the partnership with Sesi.

Accident Reduction: A Tangible Commitment

Workplace safety is a non-negotiable priority at Leax do Brasil. The company spares no effort or investment to prevent accidents, and the partnership with Sesi has been fundamental in this process. Workplace accidents, in addition to causing medical leave, generate demotivation and increase indirect costs, such as staff replacement and rework. With trainings focused on NRs, Leax has significantly reduced these incidents.

Health and Well-Being: A Factor of Excellence

The phrase “if we stop seeking excellence, we will cease to be good” comes alive in this context. A well-trained and healthy employee is the foundation for producing propeller shafts and other components that meet the industry’s highest standards. Leax understands that excellence starts with people, and the partnership with Sesi is the bridge to achieving this goal.
The cultural transformation promoted by the NRs and Sesi trainings is visible at Leax do Brasil. Trained employees become multipliers of good practices, sharing safety knowledge with new hires and suggesting process improvements. This dynamic creates a virtuous cycle where prevention becomes part of the company’s DNA. In 2025, Leax recorded a 30% increase in safety suggestions from employees, a clear indicator of engagement.

This preventive culture also reduces long-term costs. Fewer accidents mean fewer indemnities and less lost time, allowing Leax to reinvest resources in innovation and expansion. The partnership between Leax do Brasil and Sesi is more than a training program; it is a legacy of excellence that transforms lives and strengthens industry. With a reduction of more than 50% in accidents over 3 years and a fully evolving preventive culture, Leax demonstrates that safety and qualification go hand in hand with quality. On November 12, 2025, this initiative was featured on RIC TV, and continues as an example of how investing in people is the path to a safer and more productive future.
