The Valencia Autonomous Community recognises
FCC Aqualia’s
efforts in prevention management
Runner-up in the Safe
Company Track Record
of the Llum Awards given
by the Valencia Business
Confederation.
The implementation of
preventive management
in the contracts with the
Valencia Community have
contributed to reducing the
rate of accidents leading
to sick leave by more than
50% over the 2009-2012
period.
The Valencia Business Confederation publi-
cly acknowledged the good management
practices of FCC Aqualia in occupational
hazard prevention, specifically, in the de-
partments at : Alcoy, Villena, Dénia, La Nu-
cía, Albal, Alboraya, Novelda, Callosa de
Segura, Los Serranos and Llíria; the Canet
waste water treatment facility and the brac-
kish water treatment plant in Racons.
The implementation of these preventive ma-
nagement measures in the contracts exe-
cuted with the Valencia Community and, in
general, at the entire Levante branches of
the company have contributed to reducing
the rate of accidents resulting in sick leave
by more than 50% over the 2009-2012 pe-
riod. The services such as the ones in Llíria,
Alboraya, Albatera and Callosa de Segura
have not recorded any sick-leave related
accidents in the last five years. The success
of this zero accident rate, worthy of this re-
cognition, was achieved thanks to effective
management and the combined efforts of
the company’s 265 workers in the Valencia
Community as a result of the implementa-
tion of preventive measures, policies and
practices and of training and research on
accident related aspects.
FCC Aqualia’s representative in Valencia,
Manuel Sánchez, collected the award given
by the secretary general of the Confedera-
tion, Ricardo Miralles, who highlighted “the
importance for society, companies, and
workers of maintaining investments in Oc-
cupational Hazard prevention in these times
of crisis since this investment generates re-
turns in economic terms as well as in the
health of the workers”.
This has been the sixth edition of the LLum
Awards, created in 2008 by the Business
Confederation of Valencia to recognise and
encourage good occupational safety and
health practices at the work place and the
good track record of companies in Valen-
cia in preventive management. The panel of
judges considered the significant efforts of
FCC Aqualia in implementing new and effi-
cient prevention systems which considera-
bly improve safety and health conditions at
work.
