Carrefour has organized more than 50 conferences, seminars and training sessions simultaneously in 27 Spanish cities on the occasion of World Day for Safety and Health at Work. More than 1,000 Carrefour employees have participated in this initiative.

The presentations and activities developed have placed attendees in the current context of work accidents and absenteeism. Of the factors that must be faced by companies, administration, mutual insurance companies and prevention societies to influence the improvement of workers' health and help companies achieve their corporate objectives.

The sessions were attended by those responsible for prevention and human resources managers at Carrefour.

It is worth highlighting the role that an entity like Fraternidad-Muprespa can play in this new scenario thanks to its current management model.
