FRATERTALKS EDITIONS 2020

Addictions in the work environment can have serious consequences, especially in those jobs that require a high degree of concentration, handling of machines, vehicles or machinery and that, in addition, can compromise the safety of other workers or third parties.

We talk about all this in this Fratertalk with Pedro García Aguado , presenter for 7 seasons of the TV program “Hermano Mayor” broadcast on Cuatro, co-founder of Centro Tempus, lecturer and writer with books such as “Mañana lo dejo”, “Dejarlo esposible”, “Safe en la network” or “Learning to educate”.

Vision Zero represents a transformative approach to prevention that is based on the integration of safety, health and well-being at all levels, with the conviction that this leads to harm reduction.

In this second edition of FraterTalks, Joaquín Ruiz, CEO of Prevencontrol, shares with us what the main foundations of Vision Zero are, what advantages this new way of doing prevention has and the keys to successfully implement it in companies. 

Without a doubt, audits are a magnificent tool that, used well, will help us achieve excellence in the preventive system, detecting those points that must be improved with the ultimate goal of guaranteeing the safety, health and well-being of workers.

With the help of Agustín Sánchez-Toledo, director of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Wellbeing and the web portal Prevencionar.com, we learned the most important keys to carrying out a workplace safety audit satisfactorily and without dying in the attempt.

The end of the long-awaited summer vacation brings with it what is usually known as post-vacation syndrome, which has a clear impact on both our personal and professional lives. Furthermore, the COVID19 pandemic has made us live for months in a situation that we had never experienced before, putting our emotional well-being to the test.

To learn the keys to better cope with returning to work and how to psychologically adapt satisfactorily to the new normality of COVID19 in the work environment, we have Sonia Sánchez , expert in emotional well-being and clinical psychologist at ITAE EMPRESAS. 

According to the Sixth European Survey on working conditions, three out of every five workers report suffering from some type of musculoskeletal disorder , constituting the most frequent work-related health problem in Europe.

Mercedes Sanchís , director of Innovation in Wellbeing and Occupational Health at the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia (IBV), offers us in this Fratertalk her vision about how ergonomics should play a leading role in the work environment. 

Framed within the III Occupational Road Safety Week that Fraternidad-Muprespa organized from November 4 to 15, in this Fratertalk we had the opportunity to talk with one of the people who has worked the most for and to improve road safety in our country: Mar Cogollos , general director of AESLEME (Association for the Study of Spinal Cord Injury). 

Mar shared with us his interesting point of view on the aspects that most influence road safety, focusing especially on the necessary awareness-raising and sensitization work when driving safely.

There is no doubt that one of the most important socio-labor changes that emerged as a result of the pandemic has been the fact that millions of workers began to work in a new modality: teleworking . 

Therefore, we celebrate this Fratertalk from three different approaches such as legal, preventive and economic benefits with the help of experts from of Economic Benefits.
