Activating Vision Zero Year II

Our long road towards zero harm prevention has just begun...Year II of the Vision Zero...

In this way we continue our efforts to make known Vision Zero to our associated companies, the campaign belonging to the International Social Security Association (AISS) in favor of zero accidents, illnesses and injuries at work. On this occasion, our technicians spread throughout the territory have organized and taught around 15 days during January and February, counting on the invaluable help in many cases of the territorial health and safety organizations, whose staff we want to thank from here for their support and help in this long-distance race which is the reduction of accidents in companies, among others:

Thank you! 

From here we want to give a resounding applause to our technicians without whose effort and dedication all this would not be possible, their tenacity and dedication is to be praised, for this reason THANK YOU colleagues!.

In general, we are very satisfied since the feeling that both the attending companies and the participating institutions have given us is very positive. They considered it very useful to carry out these trainings in which companies can express their concerns, can share good practices and can discover examples of how risk prevention can be improved in their companies. We are convinced that opening communication channels with companies, with workers, with institutions, is always beneficial for all parties. Simply discovering that one is not alone in this crusade against accidents is a benefit in itself, it gives us the courage to continue on this path that is sometimes not easy.

We were delighted with some associated companies that helped us explain how they had implemented Vision Zero, verifying that the improvement in indicators is rapid although small at first. As we always say, the most difficult thing is taking the first step, the next ones are always easier.In other cases they told us about the tools they have been using for some time, tools that serve to integrate prevention in the company such as, for example, closeness with workers, holding interdepartmental meetings with prevention topics, involving managers in accident investigation, setting annual prevention objectives, carrying out safety inspections, etc...From here thank also to the associated companies that actively participated in these trainings, since with Their examples brought us closer to reality, telling us the difficulties and benefits of Vision Zero.

From Fraternidad-Muprespa and together with our technicians we encourage you to discover Vision Zero, a campaign that for free will open the doors of a cultural change in the company whose maximum objective is zero accidents and whose concern is the safety of workers. It is about team building, fostering a culture of prevention that will change the DNA of the company, taking it to the next level of prevention.
