The CIPA Escolar project aims to transform Brazil into a country where accident prevention begins and is incorporated in schools. To this end, it seeks to promote educational actions on safety, combating child labor, bullying and risk situations. It also monitors school spaces, identifying and correcting possible threats to the safety of students and professionals.
