Hazards Prevention System in each and
every business area, and performed pe-
riodical in-house and external audits, both
OHSAS as well as mandatory types, co-
llaborating with the different company de-
partments to ensure compliance with legal
obligations”.
She also mentioned that “in May 2011,
the Board of Directors approved the FCC
Group Occupational Hazard Prevention
Policy, reflecting the organization’s com-
mitment to constant improvement and to
the integration of the prevention concept at
all organizational levels”.
Delfina mentioned the Shared Prevention
Services had been created for each of the
business areas, that the number of preven-
tion technicians and workers assigned to
prevention tasks had increased, as well as
the number of hours of training in the Pre-
vention of Occupational Hazards, and that
measures such as the Strategic Road Safe-
ty Plan had been implemented, particularly
important in an activity in which the use of
vehicles was very widespread.

Cristina García believes that “over the past
few years, the culture of prevention is incre-

responsibilities in the Prevention area at all
hierarchical levels”.

Prevention of occupational hazards should
be mainly aimed at managers so that they
understand their role as the parties respon-
