This study made it possible to determine that the transport of personnel, waste, the consumption of: diesel, propane gas, electric energy are factors that generate GHG. The results show the conditions of GHG emissions in the dining room, recommending measures to control non-compliance with environmental quality standards. The statistics indicate that 84.6% of the personnel know the sources of GHG emissions; 84.6% know about waste treatment; 61.5% indicated the inappropriate use of gas.
