World Day for Safety and Health at Work
Next Sunday, April 28, the world commemorates the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, like every year, focusing on a timely topic related to occupational health and safety, an initiative that since 2003 aims to promote the prevention of work accidents and occupational diseases.
This year, the theme chosen by the ILO focuses on exploring the impacts of climate change on safety and health at work. Changing weather patterns have significant impacts on the world of work, particularly affecting the safety and health of workers. Examples of occupational risks exacerbated by climate change include heat stress, UV radiation, air pollution, serious industrial accidents, extreme weather events, increases in vector-borne diseases, and increased exposure to agrochemicals.
In Fraternidad-Muprespa around this day, we organize our IX Prevention Week with the motto: "Safe work is your first goal" to raise awareness among associated companies so that they achieve reduce their workplace accidents through cultural change in organizations. To this end, we have carried out numerous preventive actions based on the premise that to reduce accidents, integrate prevention or generate a preventive culture in our companies, it is key to have clear objectives that channel the efforts of the entire team.
ACTIONS OF THE IX WEEK OF PREVENTION
We want to take advantage "our day" to encourage our mutual members to visit our page web Previene in which we have numerous audiovisual material where we offer a very broad vision of the risks that may exist in all types of work environments along with multiple examples of good preventive practices with the aim of guaranteeing the greatest occupational health and safety and achieving zero harm due to work.
