Awareness day for companies on substance use in the workplace

Fraternidad-Muprespa in Navarra and Fundación Proyecto Hombre Navarra held last Friday the event “Awareness about substance use in the workplace”, which took place at the headquarters of the Provincial Directorate of the Mutua in Pamplona. 

The day was attended by a group of mutual companies aware of occupational risk prevention, to whom the occupational risk prevention consultant Diego Alejandre presented the services offered by Fraternidad-Muprespa within its preventive activities plan. 

Next, Pepa Palacios, head of Collaborative Projects at Fundación Proyecto Hombre Navarra, described the influence of substance use on work absenteeism, as she specified what type of substances are the most consumed by sectors of activity, sex or geographical location. "For consumer workers, substances are not seen as a problem but rather the solution to another hidden problem. It is important that they know that it is possible to carry out awareness-raising and management activities for this type of case within our entities," he concluded. 

The celebration of this day is part of the collaboration agreement signed last October between with Social Security.
